软件工程箴言
André Bensoussan 曾经为我解释程序员和设计师之间的区别：
“如果要做一个总体评价，程序员会说：是的，但是...
而设计师则会说：是的，而且...”

We know about as much about software quality problems as they knew about the Black Plague in the 1600s. We've seen the victims' agonies and helped burn the corpses. We don't know what causes it; we don't really know if there is only one disease. We just suffer -- and keep pouring our sewage into our water supply.
-- Tom Van Vleck
我们对软件质量问题的了解就如同人们所了解到的1600年的黑死病。我们看到罹难者的痛苦和他们帮着焚烧尸体。我们却不知道这是什么引起的；我们甚至不知道是否这只是一场疾病。我们只是忍受－－并且继续将污水倒入供水系统中。

It is not enough to do your best: you must know what to do, and THEN do your best.

A leader is best when people barely know that he exists.
Less good when they obey and acclaim him.
Worse when they fear and despise him.
Fail to honor people, and they fail to honor you.
But of a good leader, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled,
they will say, "We did this ourselves."
-- Lao-Tzu
太上，下知有之；其次，亲而誉之；其次，畏之；其次，侮之。信不足焉，有不信。焉。悠今!其贵言也。
成功遂事，百姓皆谓：“我自然。”

"If you didn't write it down, it didn't happen."
This saying is popular among scientists (doing experiments), but I believe it applies to software testing, particularly for real-time systems.
“如果你没有记录它，它就没有发生。”
这个说法在科学家（做实验）中非常流行，但是我相信它也适用于软件测试，特别是对于实时系统来说。

We reject kings, presidents, and voting.
We believe in rough consensus and running code.
--Dave Clark (1992)
我们拒绝国王，总统和选举。我们只相信大多数人的意见和正在执行的代码
—————————————————————————————————
I am a design chauvinist. I believe that good design is magical and not to be lightly tinkered with. The difference between a great design and a lousy one is in the meshing of the thousand details that either fit or don't, and the spirit of the passionate intellect that has tied them together, or tried. That's why programming---or buying software---on the basis of "lists of features" is a doomed and misguided effort. The features can be thrown together, as in a garbage can, or carefully laid together and interwoven in elegant unification, as in APL, or the Forth language, or the game of chess.
-- Ted Nelson

软件太重要了，所以不能全让给程序员做主。

... while we all know that unmastered complexity is at the root of the misery, we do not know what degree of simplicity can be obtained, nor to what extent the intrinsic complexity of the whole design has to show up in the interfaces. We simply do not know yet the limits of disentanglement. We do not know yet whether intrinsic intricacy can be distinguished from accidental intricacy.
-- E. W. Dijkstra, Communications of the ACM, Mar 2001, Vol. 44, No. 3

You can only find truth with logic if you have already found truth without it.
