Find the simplest model that is not a lie is the key to better software design.

David Parnas

Climate change is a humongous challenge but it also presents numerous economic opportunities.

Clive Lewis

Do you find coming to terms with the mindless tedium of it all presents an interesting challenge?

Douglas Adams

If you want to do interesting software, you have to have a bunch of people do it, because the amount of software that one person can do isn't that interesting.

Nathan Myhrvold

There's a fundamental problem with how the software business does things. We're asking people who are masters of hard-edged technology to design the soft, human side of software as well. As a result, they make products that are really cool - if you happen to be a software engineer.

Alan Cooper

I don't have formal training at all, but I did grow up around design. My parents both flipped homes. A typical weekend for us was walking through model home units. I loved walking through interesting floor plans and seeing different design aesthetics.

Jeremiah Brent

The challenge with Postfix, or with any piece of software, is to update software without introducing problems.

Wietse Venema

Writing software that's safe even in the presence of bugs makes the challenge even more interesting.

Wietse Venema

The challenge for what everybody's seeing in deep learning - the software richness is really quite high. In training, you have to wait days and weeks before it comes back to tell you whether your model works or not. And in the beginning, they all don't work.

Jensen Huang

I always try to design fashion that is interesting and innovative, and I like to break traditions and challenge people's expectations.

Jonathan Anderson

That's software in the States that I helped to develop. It enables people with disabilities to improvise.

Pauline Oliveros

We have over 60 million machines that can take the same diskette, plug it in and immediately ah, that that software's working. And so it's created the worldwide software industry that... that is so very competitive and moving so quickly.

Bill Gates

The term "rational" and its variants (rationality, rationalism) are used in a lot of contexts in economic debate, both positively and negatively, but nearly always sloppily or dishonestly. A specimen I've seen on more occasions than I can count is the line (usually presented with a sense of witty originality) "if you are opposed to economic rationalism, you must be in favor of economic irrationalism"... I've come to the conclusion that the word "rational" has no meaning that cannot better be conveyed by some alternative term and that the best advice is probably to avoid it altogether.

John Quiggin

Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.

Bill Gates

The interesting thing is when we design and architect a server, we don't design it for Windows or Linux, we design it for both. We don't really care, as long as we're selling the one the customer wants.

Michael Dell

By leveraging the Unicode Standard, Progress Software is enabling its ASPs (Application Service Providers) and ISVs (Independent Software Vendors) to quickly and efficiently deliver their business applications to the Internet and to users around the world.
