经典编程语录

If debugging is the proceof removing software bugs, then programming must be the proceof putting them in. – Edsger Dijkstra

如果调试程序是移除臭虫（软件缺陷）的过程，那编写程序就是把臭虫放进来的过程。—— 迪杰斯特拉

The first 90% of the code accounts for the first 90% of the development time. The remaining 10% of the code accounts for the other 90% of the development time. – Tom Cargill

软件开发的时间通常是这样的：一开始的90%开发工作用掉了整个计划90%的时间，剩下的10%同样需要整个计划90%的时间，而最终发布前的修改也是如此。—— N.J. Rubenking

Writing the first 90 percent of a computer program takes 90 percent of the time. The remaining ten percent also takes 90 percent of the time and the final touches also take 90 percent of the time. ~N.J. Rubenking

“There are two ways of constructing a software design. One way is to make it so si-mp-le that there are obviously no deficiencies. And the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies.”- C.A.R. Hoare

设计软件有两种方法：一种是简单到明显没有缺陷，另一种复杂到缺陷不那么明显。—— 托尼·霍尔

Measuring programming progreby lines of code is like measuring aircraft building progreby weight. – Bill Gates

用代码行数来衡量程序的开发进度，就好比用重量来衡量飞机的制造进度。—— 比尔·盖茨

“Always code as if the guy who ends up maintaining your code will be a violent psychopath who knows where you live.” – Martin Golding

在编写代码的时候，你要经常想着，那个最终维护你代码的人可能将是一个有暴-力倾向的疯子，并且他还知道你住在哪里。—— 里克·奥斯本

补充：关于这条语录，StackOverflow 上也有个讨论帖，给出的答案可能是 John Woods。

“The trouble with programmers is that you can never tell what a programmer is doing until it’s too late.” – Seymour Cray

程序员的.问题是，你无法知道他在做什么，直到为时已晚。—— 西摩·克雷

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. – Rick Cook

今日之编程，已是竭力要建立更大更反白痴程序的软件工程师，和正塑造更大更优质白痴的现实世界之间的比赛。目前来看，现实世界赢了。—— Rick Cook

“Most of you are familiar with the virtues of a programmer. There are three, of course: laziness, impatience, and hubris.” – Larry Wall

你们大部分人都熟悉程序员的美德。当然了，是这三种：懒惰、急躁、傲慢。—— 拉里·沃尔（Perl 语言之父）

“Sometimes it pays to stay in bed on Monday, rather than spending the rest of the week debugging Monday’s code.” – Christopher Thompson

有的时候宁愿付钱让你周一在床上待着，也不想让你用这周剩下的时间去调试你在周一所写的代码。 —— 丹·所罗门

Walking on water and developing software from a specification are easy if both are frozen. – Edward V Berard

在水中行走，和根据一份需求开发软件一样，如果它们都“冻”住了，那就容易了。—— 爱德华·贝拉尔德
