Quotes About Coding

I programmed computers every day. And one of my favourite apps we built was this thing called Awesome Updater, that all it did is send you a tweet randomly that was like, 'Yo, you're awesome.'

You can learn how to code today. You can build this same thing that you're looking at every day, that you're tweeting on, that you're snapping on, and I feel like that conversation needs to be had.

I never have been a coder, outside of when I was twelve or something, like on the Atari 1200 XP or whatever I had.

An individual developer like me cares about writing the new code and making it as interesting and efficient as possible. But very few people want to do the testing.

With the rise of software patents, engineers coding new stuff - whether within a large software company or as kids writing smartphone apps - are exposed to a claim that somewhere a prior patent is being infringed.

programming is a job where Lovecraft meets tradecraft, all the time.

For programming is a job where Lovecraft meets tradecraft, all the time.

puede ser impreso en 3-D con el mismo coste que un simple bloque de plástico. Al ordenador no le importa cuántos cálculos ha de hacer. 3. La flexibilidad es gratuita. Para cambiar un producto una vez iniciada la producción, sólo se necesita cambiar el código de instrucciones. La máquina sigue siendo la misma.

I think as automation gets even more and more prevalent, we're going to need to learn how to code. Everybody does.

When did things go wrong? Probably already at the kick-off meeting. Some of the project members didn't pay attention. Others didn't understand the point. Worse, some disagreed and were already planning their coding standard rebellion. Finally, some got the point and agreed but, when the pressure in the project got too high, they had to let something go.

There are two methods in software design. One is to make the program so simple, there are obviously no errors. The other is to make it so complicated, there are no obvious errors.

Computer programming has been traditionally seen as something that is beyond most people - it's only for a special group with technical expertise and experience. We have developed 'Scratch' as a new type of programming language, which is much more accessible.

Whether you draw diagrams that generate code or you type at a browser, you are coding.

As a real estate investor, you're ultimately accountable to you and your checkbook. Of course, you will need to stay on top of your local coding regulations and ordinances. But once you get the hang of it, you really shouldn't have any problems with ordinances.

Somebody writing a subroutine is unbelievable boring.

I can't live without my smartphone, but I really geek on coding. It's not so much technology that I like, but puzzle solving.

They were saying computers deal with numbers. This was absolutely nonsense. Computers deal with arbitrary information of any kind.

I tell all my students, 'Learn how to code.' It's sort of like learning Spanish in third grade. When you're still young and you still have that sort of agile mind, that's when you should do it.

I'm on the autism spectrum. I don't usually follow social coding and so therefore I go my own way.

When Hiro learned how to do this, way back fifteen years ago, a hacker could sit down and write an entire piece of software by himself. Now, that's no longer possible. Software comes out of factories, and hackers are, to a greater or lesser extent, assembly-line workers. Worse yet, they may become managers who never get to write any code themselves.

When Hiro first saw this place, ten years ago, the monorail hadn't been written yet; he and his buddies had to write car and motorcycle software in order to get around. They would take their software out and race it in the black desert of the electronic night.

Nothing is more disagreeable to the hacker than duplication of effort. The first and most important mental habit that people develop when they learn how to write computer programs is to generalize, generalize, generalize. To make their code as modular and flexible as possible, breaking large problems down into small subroutines that can be used over and over again in different contexts.
