“Software developersare needed for
software development”
“Software developersare needed for
software development”
... no one else is...
“Programming a computer does require intelligence.
Indeed, it requires so much intelligence that nobody really does it very well. Sure, some
programmers are better than others, but we all bump
and crash around like overgrown infants. Why?
Because programming is by far the hardest intellectual
task that human beings have tried to do. Ever.”
