Jamie Lee Curtis Quotes

Software development is technical activity conducted by human beings.

If you know how to make software, then you can create big things.

It's something special being able to build a program up.

The hardest part of the software task is arriving at a complete and consistent specification, and much of the essence of building a program is in fact the debugging of the specification.

I'm certainly hoping that all the recommendations that we have heard will be implemented.

In the military, as in any organization, giving the order might be the easiest part. Execution is the real game.

I know one business, and that's how to make software.

Our chief defect is that we are more given to talking about things than to doing them.

First of all, you've got to have a vision of 'What kind of program do I want to have?' Then you've got to have a plan to implement it. Then you've got to set the example that you want, develop the principles and values that are important, and get people to buy into it.

A lot of people assume that creating software is purely a solitary activity where you sit in an office with the door closed all day and write lots of code.

Without execution, 'vision' is just another word for hallucination.
