I write an average of five new programs every week. Poets have to write poems. I have to write computer programs.
The ultimate test of whether I understand something is if I can explain it to a computer. I can say something to you and you’ll nod your head, but I’m not sure that I explained it well. But the computer doesn’t nod its head. It repeats back exactly what I tell it. In most of life, you can bluff, but not with computers.

There are infinitely many kinds of beautiful lives.

Ich ende, also bin ich.
We spend our lives trying to discern where we end and the rest of the world begins.
