  1. A quotation from Judith Martin

    Although making distinctions based on age does violate the concept of total equality, what could be fairer? With any luck, age happens to everyone. According greater respect to greater age is the system most likely to give everyone a fair turn at high status, not to mention its being a nice little consolation for the loss of supple skin and a memory for names.

    Judith Martin (b. 1938) American author, journalist, etiquette expert [a.k.a. Miss Manners]
    Star-Spangled Manners, ch. 3 (2003)

  2. You mean, "The Age of Senility"?

    Once, 'senior' meant, the 'MOST experienced'. Now they're just old dinosaurs, that don't know when to leave their cushy jobs, & get out of Dodge.
    Their "Experience" is at retirement age too.
    Besides Mitch the Turtle, some Democrat Dinosaurs are on 9th term? #WTF? #USPoli #Seniority

  3. «The seasoned engineer learns that sometimes the best code is the code you never wrote.»

    «This shift isn't about slowing down in the traditional sense — it's about optimizing effort to where it can make the most significant difference. It’s about being surgical with interventions rather than carpet-bombing problems with code.»

  4. The qualities of a great programmer:

    - Laziness makes you create labor-saving programs.
    - Impatience makes you write efficient programs.
    - Hubris makes you produce great quality code.

    Of course it should be just the right amount of each. Otherwise you might be too lazy to do anything, too impatient to finish anything, and too arrogant to work with others.
