Great computer programming quotes
"If you sat a monkey down in front of a keyboard, the first thing typed would be a unix command."
"The UNIX philosophy basically involves giving you enough rope to hang yourself. And then a couple of feet more, just to be sure. "
"Compared to Plan 9, Unix creaks and clanks and has obvious rust spots, but it gets the job done well enough to hold its position. There is a lesson here for ambitious system architects: the most dangerous enemy of a better solution is an existing codebase that is just good enough."
"If you have trouble sounding condescending, find a Unix user to show you how it's done."
"Unix gives you just enough rope to hang yourself -- and then a couple of more feet, just to be sure."
"Unix is the answer, but only if you phrase the question very carefully. Unix is user-friendly. It's just very selective about who its friends are. Unix: It's not just "User-Unfriendly", it's "Proactively User-Hostile"! "
"Философия UNIX гласит: Пишите программы, которые делают одну вещь и делают её хорошо; Пишите программы, которые бы работали вместе; Пишите программы, которые бы поддерживали текстовые потоки, поскольку это универсальный интерфейс."
"Философия Linux говорит: "Смейся перед лицом опасности!". Ой. Не правильно. "Сделай это сам!" Да, теперь похоже."
"UNIX не был разработан так, чтобы отгораживать своих пользователей от глупостей, поскольку это отгородило бы их от делания умных вещей."
