27 inspiring top notch programming quotes

It's been a while that I got a chance to write another post here. Currently, I'm really busy with

school/work (just got a "job" at InfoSupport  - love it!) which takes a lot of my time.

When my classmates and myself wrote the Getting Groovy in an SOA Study, we added some cool

programming quotes that was a real addition to the report. When sear ching f or those inspiring

programming quotes, there were loads of others that are really funny (and true) where I (and probably

many more) can relate to.

Here are two of my favourite programming quotes:

“ Java is to JavaScript what Car is to Carpet. ”

“ It's hard enough to find an error in your code when you're looking for it; it's even

harder when you've assumed your code is error-free. ”

Check out these other 25 to see if you can relate!

These quotations are in no order.  If you're looking for design-related quotes, check out Quotes on

Design .

“ If debugging is the process of removing software bugs, then programming must bethe process of putting them in. ”

“ Rules of Optimization: Rule 1: Don't do it. Rule 2 (for experts only): Don't do it yet. ”
