I read a quote but I don't know who said it:

"Programming isn't hard -- the world is hard."

In other words, computer science is about describing the world in a logical and unambiguous way, and it happens that computers are a good place to test these descriptions. Maybe they should call it applied philosophy.


"What is needed, of course, is a return to the 'prudent person' standard in
American law, rather than the 'biggest damned drunken idiot' standard we now
enjoy."
