Dall'intervista a Frances Allen, vincitrice del Turing Award 2006 e IBM Fellow Emerita (Fundamental contributions to the theory and practice of program construction and compiler optimization over a 50-year career; her contributions also greatly extended earlier work in automatic program parallelization, which enables programs to use multiple processors simultaneously):
"If someone on the systems side showed me a piece of code, I would say "Can you describe this in a paper ? How would other people know about this ?""
Sono più o meno le stesse parole che ogni tanto ripeto (l'ultimo malcapitato è stato Matteo).
Questa è meno brillante ed indirizza un problema meno fondamentale, ma illustra anch'essa il problema di fondo:
"Many programmers seem to have gone into their field to avoid subjects such as English or anything that would require communicating with other people rather than machines"
