• Creo que es extraordinariamente importante que en informática mantengamos la diversión en la informática. Cuando empezó, era muy divertida. Por supuesto, los clientes que pagaban se veían perjudicados de vez en cuando y, al cabo de un tiempo, empezamos a tomarnos en serio sus quejas. Empezamos a sentirnos como si realmente fuéramos responsables de que esas máquinas se utilizaran con éxito y sin errores. No creo que lo seamos. Creo que somos responsables de estirarlas, de llevarlas en nuevas direcciones y de mantener la diversión en casa. Espero que el campo de la informática nunca pierda su sentido de la diversión.
