⇑Definitions and quotes

Programming
Why bother with subroutines when you can type fast?
Vaughn Rokosz [citation needed]
Programming
Playing with pointers is like playing with fire. Fire is perhaps the most important tool known to man. Carefully used, fire brings enormous benefits; but when fire gets out of control, disaster strikes.
John Barnes, Programming in Ada 2012, Cambridge University Press, 2014, p. 189
Programming
If you lie to the computer, it will get you.
Perry Farrar (1985) attributed to Farrar in John Bentley (1985) "Bumper-Sticker Computer Science". In: Communications of the ACM, Vol 28. Nr.9, p. 899
