“Programmers are not to be measured by their ingenuity and their logic but by the completeness of their case analysis.”
“A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.”
“But with man the case is otherwise, in that when logic leads to any humiliating conclusion, the sole effect is to discredit logic.”
“Cultural analysis is intrinsically incomplete. And, worse than that, the more deeply it goes the less complete it is.”
“I began to realize that an intuitive understanding and consciousness was more significant than abstract thinking and intellectual logical analysis,” he later said.”
“I'm not a great programmer; I'm just a good programmer with great habits.”
