Changing requirements and the need for increased functionality mean the program itself may be modified on an ongoing basis. During this process, human beings must be able to read and understand the original code. It is therefore more important by far for humans to be able to understand the program than it is for the computer.

• I understood that there would be some backlash, and that scared me, honestly. But deep down, I felt like it was the right thing to do.

God wouldn’t be able to put me where I am today, and as far as I’ve come in life, if I was a coward.

• Prostitution is not just a service industry, mopping up the overflow of male demand, which always exceeds female supply.
