The three chief virtues of a programmer are: Laziness, Impatience and Hubris.
From Larry Wall
I think operating systems work best if they're free and open. Particular applications are more likely to be proprietary.
There is no schedule. We are all volunteers, so we get it done when we get it done. Perl 5 still works fine, and we plan to take the right amount of time on Perl 6.
I think computer science, by and large, is still stuck in the Modern age.
Doing linear scans over an associative array is like trying to club someone to death with a loaded Uzi.
Real programmers can write assembly code in any language.
The Harvard Law states: Under controlled conditions of light, temperature, humidity, and nutrition, the organism will do as it damn well pleases.
For me, writing is a love-hate relationship.
Hubris itself will not let you be an artist.
I am not a sort of person who wants to run a company.
