Definitions and quotes

Database
A database is an organized collection of data. A relational database, more restrictively, is a collection of schemas, tables, queries, reports, views, and other elements. Database designers typically organize the data to model aspects of reality in a way that supports processes requiring information, such as (for example) modelling the availability of rooms in hotels in a way that supports finding a hotel with vacancies.
Programming
From then on, when anything went wrong with a computer, we said it had bugs in it.
RADM Grace Hopper, on the removal of a 2-inch-long moth from the Harvard Mark I experimental computer at Harvard in August 1945, as quoted in Time (16 April 1984)
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
