Quotes About Diet

I tried the paleo diet, which is the caveman diet - lots of meat. I tried the raw food vegan diet.

Trying to improve software quality by increasing the amount of testing is like trying to lose weight by weighing yourself more often. What you eat before you step onto the scale determines how much you will weigh, and the software development techniques you use determine how many errors testing will find. If you want to lose weight, don't buy a new scale; change your diet. If you want to improve your software, don't test more; develop better.

So that's us: processed corn, walking.
