Programming Quote by Robert C. Martin

“complicated code is a sign that you don't understand your program well enough to make it simple.”

— Steve McConnell

“As usual in programming, if something is difficult for you to understand, it’s probably not a good idea.”

— Mark Lutz

“How much ever hard you may try to program your mind to be logical, the 'stupid heart' creates an superior algorithm suited to it !”

— Deep Bisht

“no matter how much tech companies talk about algorithms like they’re nothing but advanced math, they always reflect the values of their creators:”

— Sara Wachter-Boettcher

“The art of programming is the skill of controlling complexity.”

— Marijn Haverbeke

Once you succeed in writing the programs for [these] complicated algorithms, they usually run extremely fast. The computer doesn't need to understand the algorithm,…

— Robert Tarjan

“Algorithm without humanity is mental holocaust.”

— Abhijit Naskar

“When people complain of your complexity, they fail to remember that they made fun of your simplicity.”

— Michael Bassey Johnson

“In algorithms, as in life, persistence usually pays off.”

— Steven S. Skiena

It is hard to write even the smallest piece of code correctly.

— Joshua Bloch

“When faced with complexity, the answer is simplicity.”

— George Choy

“Some of the best programming is done on paper, really. Putting it into the computer is just a minor detail.”

— Max Kanat-Alexander
