Notable quotes

“Architects know that some kinds of design problems are more personal than others. One of the cleanest, most abstract design problems is designing bridges. There your job is largely a matter of spanning a given distance with the least material. The other end of the spectrum is designing chairs. Chair designers have to spend their time thinking about human butts.”
— "Five Questions about Language Design", May 2001
“At every period of history, people have believed things that were just ridiculous, and believed them so strongly that you risked ostracism or even violence by saying otherwise. If our own time were any different, that would be remarkable. As far as I can tell it isn't.”
— "Taste for Makers", February 2002
“A programming language is for thinking of programs, not for expressing programs you've already thought of.”
— "Hackers and Painters", May 2003
“I've seen occasional articles about how to manage programmers. Really there should be two articles: one about what to do if you are yourself a programmer, and one about what to do if you're not. And the second could probably be condensed into two words: give up.”
— "Great Hackers", July 2004
“Google never did any advertising. They're like dealers; they sell the stuff, but they know better than to use it themselves.”
— "How to Start a Startup", March 2005
“European public opinion will apparently tolerate people being fired in industries where they really care about performance. Unfortunately the only industry they care enough about so far is soccer.”
— "Why Startups Condense in America", May 2006
