Default A rather interesting page

It's a page more or less full of programming quotes..

Quote:
PHP is a minor evil perpetrated and created by incompetent amateurs, whereas Perl is a great and insidious evil, perpetrated by skilled but perverted professionals.

Jon Ribbens

There are only two industries that refer to their customers as "users".

Theory is when you know something, but it doesn't work. Practice is when something works, but you don't know why.
Programmers combine theory and practice: Nothing works and they don't know why.

This quote, in a nutshell, sums up my theory of how programmers should program.

Quote:
Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler.
Albert Einstein

And a quote of mine
"Code before the compile is like communism. It works in theory. But when you actually try to do it, man oh man it just wont work!"
