Bill Bryson.

Bryson (2005)

  • For a long time it puzzled me how something so expensive, so leading edge, could be so useless. And then it occurred to me that a computer is a stupid machine with the ability to do incredibly smart things, while computer programmers are smart people with the ability to do incredibly stupid things. They are, in short, a perfect match.
    • Durante moito tempo non entendín como algo tan caro e innovador podía ser tan inútil. Entón ocorréuseme que os computadores son máquinas estúpidas coa capacidade para facer cousas asombrosamente intelixentes, mentres que os programadores son xente intelixente coa capacidade para facer cousas asombrosamente estúpidas.
