Peter Seibel Quote: “Armstrong: I think the lack of reusability comes in object-oriented languages, not in functional languages. Because the problem with object-oriented languages is they’ve got all this implicit environment that they carry around with them. You wanted a banana but what you got was a gorilla holding the banana and the entire jungle.”

Peter Seibel Quote: “The really good programmers spend a lot of time programming. I haven’t seen very good programmers who don’t spend a lot of time programming. If I don’t program for two or three days, I need to do it. And you get better at it – you get quicker at it. The side effect of writing all this other stuff is that when you get to doing ordinary problems, you can do them very quickly. – Joe Armstrong.”

Peter Seibel Quote: “Seibel: There’s a Dijkstra quote about how you can’t prove by testing that a program is bug-free, you can only prove that you failed to find any bugs with your tests. But it sort of sounds the same way with a proof-you can’t prove a program is bug-free with a proof-you can only prove that, as far as you understand your own proof, it hasn’t turned up any bugs.”

Peter Seibel Quote: “Zawinski: Sometimes. I end up doing all the sysadmin crap, which I can’t stand-I’ve never liked it. I enjoy working on XScreenSaver because in some ways screen savers-the actual display modes rather than the XScreenSaver framework-are the perfect program because they almost always start from scratch and they do something pretty and there’s never a version 2.0. There’s very rarely a bug in a screen saver. It crashes-oh, there’s a divide-by-zero and you fix that.”

Peter Seibel Quote: “There’s a brilliant quote by Tony Hoare in his Turing Award speech about how there are two ways to design a system: “One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies.”

Peter Seibel Quote: “Norvig: I think one of the most important things is being able to keep everything in your head at once. If you can do that you have a much better chance of being successful. That makes a small program easier. For a bigger program, you need extra tools to be able to handle that.”
