⇑Definitions and quotes

Programming
Computers are man's attempt at designing a cat: it does whatever it wants, whenever it wants, and rarely ever at the right time.
EMCIC, Keenspot Elf Life Forum, 2001-Apr-26 [specific citation needed]
Programming
From then on, when anything went wrong with a computer, we said it had bugs in it.
RADM Grace Hopper, on the removal of a 2-inch-long moth from the Harvard Mark I experimental computer at Harvard in August 1945, as quoted in Time (16 April 1984)
Programming
Asking for efficiency and adaptability in the same program is like asking for a beautiful and modest wife. Although beauty and modesty have been known to occur in the same woman, we'll probably have to settle for one or the other. At least that's better than neither.
Gerald M. Weinberg, The Psychology of Computer Programming (1971), Chapter 2, page 22
