Software engineering is the establishment and use of sound engineering principles to obtain economically software that is reliable and works on real machines efficiently.

Friedrich L. Bauer

Never in the annals of software engineering was so much owed by so many to so few lines of code

Martin Fowler

Trying to read our DNA is like trying to understand software code - with only 90% of the code riddled with errors. It's very difficult in that case to understand and predict what that software code is going to do.

Elon Musk

We flew down weekly to meet with IBM, but they thought the way to measure software was the amount of code we wrote, when really the better the software, the fewer lines of code.

Bill Gates

There's a strong distinction to be made between dry code smart contacts and wet code's physical law. So law is based on our minds, our wetware - it's based on analogy.

Bill Gates

The structure of a software system provides the ecology in which code is born, matures, and dies. A well-designed habitat allows for the successful evolution of all the components needed in a software system.
