- Have you heard about the new Cray super computer? It's so fast, it executes an infinite loop in 6 seconds.
- If God had intended Man to program, we would be born with serial I/O ports.

- If builders built buildings the way programmers write programs, then the first woodpecker to come along would destroy civilization.
- Demo-oriented programming: A programming style, typically used by startups, focusing on the demo of the program being developed, so it will easily catch the prospective investor.
