• The discipline of programming is most like sorcery. Both use precise language to instruct inanimate objects to do our bidding. Small mistakes in programs or spells can lead to completely unforseen behavior: e.g., see the story, "The Sorcerer's Apprentice". Neither study is easy: "...her [Galinda's] early appetite for sorcery had waned once she'd heard what a grind it was to learn spells and, worse, to understand them." from the book "Wicked" by G. Maguire.

• Cuando las palabras son confusas, los programadores recurren por reflejo al método de articulación más preciso que existe: el código fuente. Aunque no hay nada más preciso que el código, tampoco hay nada más permanente o resistente al cambio. Así que a menudo se da la situación de que la confusión en la nomenclatura lleva a los programadores a empezar a codificar prematuramente, y ese código se convierte en el diseño de facto, independientemente de su idoneidad o corrección.

• The only way for errors to occur in a program is by being put there by the author. No other mechanisms are known. Programs can't acquire bugs by sitting around with other buggy programs. Right practice aims at preventing insertion of errors and, failing that, removing them before testing or any other running of the program.

• There is a construct in computer programming called 'the infinite loop' which enables a computer to do what no other physical machine can do - to operate in perpetuity without tiring. In the same way it doesn't know exhaustion, it doesn't know when it's wrong and it can keep doing the wrong thing over and over without tiring.

• Los mejores programas se escriben para que las máquinas informáticas puedan ejecutarlos rápidamente y para que los seres humanos puedan entenderlos con claridad. Un programador es idealmente un ensayista que trabaja con formas estéticas y literarias tradicionales, así como con conceptos matemáticos, para comunicar la forma en que funciona un algoritmo y convencer a un lector de que los resultados serán correctos.
