Programming quotes I liked

Hello...
I heard many programming quotes that I liked so I wanted sharing them with you so enjoy


It should be noted that no ethically-trained software engineer would ever consent to write a DestroyBaghdad procedure. Basic professional ethics would instead require him to write a DestroyCity procedure, to which Baghdad could be given as a parameter. (Nathaniel S Borenstein)


Voodoo Programming: Things programmers do that they know shouldn't work but they try anyway, and which sometimes actually work, such as recompiling everything. (Karl Lehenbauer)


Reusing pieces of code is liked picking off sentences from other people's stories and trying to make a magazine article. (Bob Frankston)


Software is like sex: It's better when it's free. (Linus Torvalds)


Without a specific reference, 1 + 1 = 2 is just a string of symbols (I Don't know)

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning. (Rich Cook)

Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it (Donald Knuth)


Those are what I remembered for now, If I remembered anything more I'll surely edit and add them to this post
