The Lurking Suspicion That Something Could Be

If There Is One 'scientific' Discovery I Am Proud Of, It Is The Discovery Of The Habit Of Writing Without Publication In Mind.

Much Of The Excitement We Get Out Of Our Work Is That We Don't Really Know What We Are Doing.

We Shall Do A Much Better Programming Job, Provided That We Approach The Task With A Full Appreciation Of Its Tremendous Difficulty, Provided That We Stick To Modest And Elegant Programming Languages, Provided That We Respect The Intrinsic Limitations Of The Human Mind And Approach The Task As Very Humble Programmers.

Probably I Am Very Naive, But I Also Think I Prefer To Remain So, At Least For The Time Being And Perhaps For The Rest Of My Life.

Simplicity And Elegance Are Unpopular Because They Require Hard Work And Discipline To Achieve And Education To Be Appreciated.
