Plans should program proceeding events and not the other way around.

Programming is not easy like Sunday morning, it is silent poetry.

Programming went back to the beginning of time. It was a little like the midden out back of his father's castle.

Programming your mind with positive thoughts each day will go a long way to keep you from allowing external criticism to derail your dreams.

Programmers are not mathematicians, no matter how much we wish and wish for it.

Programming is the act of installing internal, pre-established reactions to external stimuli so that a person will automatically react in a predetermined manner to things like an auditory, visual or tactile signal or perform a specific set of actions according to a date and/or time.

Programming is quite difficult – if you make a mistake, a bug will bother you for the rest of the day.

Programmers are isolated. They sit in their cubicle; they don't think about the larger picture. To my mind, a programmer is not an engineer, because an engineer is somebody who starts with a social problem that an organization or a society has and says, "OK, here's this problem that we have- how can we solve it?" The engineer comes up with a clever, cost-effective solution to address that problem, builds it, tests it to make sure it solves the problem. That's engineering.

Programming is about managing complexity: the complexity of the problem, laid upon the complexity of the machine. Because of this complexity, most of our programming projects fail.

Reality really relies on authoritatively regulating Your absolute attention

Second-guessing a decision made by a programming-language designer is the first step on the road to becoming one.

Rust’s central feature is ownership. Although the feature is straightforward to explain, it has deep implications for the rest of the language. All programs have to manage the way they use a computer’s memory while running. Some languages have garbage collection that constantly looks for no longer used memory as the program runs; in other languages, the programmer must explicitly allocate and free the memory. Rust uses a third approach: memory is managed through a system of ownership with a set of rules that the compiler checks at compile time. None of the ownership features slow down your program while it’s running.

Tests are stories we tell the next generation of programmers on a project.

Software testing is a sport like hunting, it's bughunting.

She had a theory that the fear of getting in trouble was what made her not as good a programmer and that, in fact, it was all linked to testosterone, and that was why there were more guy programmers than women. It was a very hazy theory, and she didn't like it, but she had pretty much convinced herself it was true, although she couldn't bear to think of sharing it with anybody, because it was a lot better to think that there were social reasons why girls didn't usually become code monkeys than to think there were biological reasons.

Simple things should be simple, complex things should be possible.

Software development is the process of creating a computer software. It includes preparing a design, coding the program, and fixing the bugs. The final goal of software development is to translate user needs to software product, while continuously improving the team and the process.

That doesn't upset too many people, but the fact that accessibility restrictions don't enter into the picture has caused more than one otherwise pacifistic soul to contemplate distinctly unpacifistic actions.

User interface is the process of shifting from chaotic complexity to elegant simplicity.

The approach shown... is a common pattern for testing exception-throwing behavior with JUnit. @Test public void missingValueRaisesException() throws Exception { try { new Template("${foo}").evaluate(); fail("evaluate() should throw an exception if " + "a variable was left without a value!"); } catch (MissingValueException expected) { } }

The most important property of a program is whether it accomplishes the intention of its user.

The only way to go fast, is to go well.

The perfect kind of architecture decision is the one which never has to be made

The Stack terraforms the host planet by drinking and vomiting its elemental juices and spitting up mobile phones.

To find why that happen and why this is happening, you should start from the beginning the problem comes from the beginning go and remove the bug, fix the problem and try again to see what will happen... Life is like a program you can fix it by going to that point and fixing it, but be careful what do you program and how you do it and what type of codes you use!

Truth can only be found in one place: the code.

The big optimizations come from refining the high-level design, not the individual routines.

The programming of the consciousness is based upon what is accepted or believed.

The real nightmare, worse than the one in which the Big Machine wants to kill you, is the one in which it sees you as irrelevant, or not even as a discrete thing to know.

Think twice, code once.

Trying to become something in a world where everyone wants to become something is a thing that needs God's programming.

We’re all optimists in our profession or we’d be forced to shoot ourselves. - Joshua Bloch

We can never know how much they deserve our sympathy, but we have to give it unreservedly as they are people innately full of the divine who instead choose to behave infernally owing to poor programming.

When you decide to put your business online it is a little bet tricky step for novice computer users because they want to keep data safe & secure. This problem developed from companies which did not take security seriously

What's in your hands I think and hope is intelligence: the ability to see the machine as more than when you were first led up to it that you can make it more.

When I deal with smart IT programmers, I have a strong impression that their job has much in common with the phenomenon of how the Lord arranged the Universe and created genetics (cells, DNA, molecules, etc.). Both genetics and computer programming create their magic by performing highly intelligent coding work.

You can spread an ideology only by bombs. Either by real bombs or love bombs (manipulation).

You are not reading this book because a teacher assigned it to you, you are reading it because you have a desire to learn, and wanting to learn is the biggest advantage you can have.

why bother with null and java 8 has optional

Why was Simpson called "OJ" except in some kind of branding or headlinese that said, "Look, this guy is sweet, wholseome, and nourishing (and 'Orenthal' is just too fancy)? You can have him for breakfast." (And "Sweetness" and "Sweet" are nicknames often given to black men.) Is "OJ" that far away from Jell-O? Wasn't that extended advertising campaign a way of saying you can trust our pudding because Bill Cosby likes it—sweet, wholesome, and pretty?

Without requirements and design, programming is the art of adding bugs to an empty text file.

With programmes such as flooding of emotions, the parts involved might not feel safe in turning the programme off. But you might be able to negotiate that they turn it down so it is barely noticeable. Or you could ask the spinner parts to spin in the opposite direction, so that they spin the effects back into the part who originally held those feelings rather than out to the rest of the system. Or you could insert a hidden drain and start draining out some of the feelings. Or you could find a way for the parts doing their jobs to implement the programme without doing harm. p126-127

You can program a computer to make mistakes, and you do it not by crossing wires, but by manipulating the 'language' you teach it to 'think' in.

A class, in Java, is where we teach objects how to behave.

You should imagine variables as tentacles, rather than boxes. They do not contain values; they grasp them—two variables can refer to the same value.

You haven't created a new body for me. I'm electricity, or light, or whatever bullshit you said I am. Just some complicated programming.

Your limitations are largely programming instilled by others that you choose to believe.

About 90 percent of the downtime comes from, at most, 10 percent of the defects.

A good threat is worth a thousand tests.

A distributed system is one in which the failure of a computer you didn't even know existed can render your own computer unusable.
