Programming Quotes by Edsger Dijkstra
All Programming quotes Edsger Dijkstra’s page
Edsger Dijkstra says the main challenge for a computing scientist is not to get tangled in the complexities they create themselves. He likens a program to a poem, insisting it must be written carefully rather than treated as a production line. He also believes that better programmers should spend less time debugging and more time preventing bugs.
