Perfecting Oneself Is As Much Unlearning As

Many Mathematicians Derive Part Of Their Self-esteem By Feeling Themselves The Proud Heirs Of A Long Tradition Of Rational Thinking; I Am Afraid They Idealize Their Cultural Ancestors.

There Should Be No Such Thing As Boring Mathematics.

Program Testing Can Be Used To Show The Presence Of Bugs, But Never To Show Their Absence!

How Do We Convince People That In Programming Simplicity And Clarity - In Short: What Mathematicians Call Elegance - Are Not A Dispensable Luxury, But A Crucial Matter That Decides Between Success And Failure?

Please Don't Fall Into The Trap Of Believing That I Am Terribly Dogmatical About The Go To Statement. I Have The Uncomfortable Feeling That Others Are Making A Religion Out Of It, As If The Conceptual Problems Of Programming Could Be Solved By A Single Trick, By A Simple Form Of Coding Discipline!
