Quotes

• “I believe, however, that humans are the only animals that we know who invents tools for working together - and they have done that as long as we have considered them human.”
• “When program developers are not territorial about their code and encourage others to look for bugs and potential improvements, progress speeds up dramatically.”
• “We were doing incremental development as early as 1957, in Los Angeles, under the direction of Bernie Dimsdale [at IBM's ServiceBureau Corporation]. He was a colleague of John von Neumann, so perhaps he learned it there, or assumed it as totally natural. I do remember Herb Jacobs (primarily, though we all participated) developing a large simulation for Motorola, where the technique used was, as far as I can tell, indistinguishable from XP.”
• “A system is never finished being developed until it ceases to be used.”
• “Let’s hope that no system of theory of systems will ever eliminate the other systems – that no approach will be promoted to a dogma, and no group of scientists will become the high priests. Shouldn’t we rather let a hundred flowers bloom...?”
• “If builders built houses the way programmers built programs, the first woodpecker to come along would destroy civilization.”
