I need to remember this one:

Chuck Reid: “In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice; In practice, there is.”

(Via Quotes of the Day.)

Quote of the Day: Assaf: “I never saw a programming language that can cure stupidity, only languages that add safety caps so they look safe, while slowing you down.”

(Via Raganwald.)

XOM Design Principles with Eliotte Rusty Harold. Eliotte is a very good opionionated speaker. While I do not agree with his view on the topic on humane interfaces, he does present some really good ideas.

Quote to remember: “One out of three untested lines of code has bugs.”
