I think a lot of great software has been written by people who are scratching a short-term itch, something which has been niggling them for ages, but in the back of their mind they’ve got a wonderful long-term plan.
I've always been obsessed with electronics and using computers and software. It's always been part of my vernacular.
It's easier for our software to compete with Linux when there's piracy than when there's not.
I wrote a piece of software in 1998 that created fictional weather.
The hardware and the software will come from Silicon Valley. But the watch case, the dial, the design, the idea, the crown, that part of the watch will, of course, be Swiss.
Software as an asset isn't stable over time; it needs to be maintained.
Proprietary software tends to have malicious features. The point is with a proprietary program, when the users dont have the source code, we can never tell. So you must consider every proprietary program as potential malware.
A typical software project can present more opportunities to learn from mistakes than some people get in a lifetime.
I'm also a fan with sticking with the most standard software that millions of other users also use, because you get the benefit of all those other users' problems and solutions.
The hardest single part of building a software system is deciding precisely what to build the most important function that software builders do for their clients is the iterative extraction and refinement of the product requirements. For the truth is, the clients do not know what they want. They usually do not know what questions must be answered, and they have almost never thought of the problem in the detail that must be specified.
Enterprise is hard work. You have to integrate the client with the optimized systems of all the servers and software.
The mind is like a computer. It runs programs. Most of the software has been poorly written. It is written in the language of fear.
A language that doesn't have everything is actually easier to program in than some that do
I no longer teach meditation, only software design.
Although many philosophers used to dismiss the relevance of neuroscience on grounds that what mattered was the software, not the hardware, increasingly philosophers have come to recognize that understanding how the brain works is essential to understanding the mind.
I have found that meditation has helped me with my academic career and has given me insights into musical composition and software design.
Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.
Free software is software that respects your freedom and the social solidarity of your community. So it's free as in freedom.
I thought, 'Okay, what's going to be my edge, and how am I going to define what I'm doing differently?' Once I had that key idea of the software developer as an artist, once I had that idea, a whole bunch of other ideas flowed from that, because I realized that I need to go study the music industry, I need to study the book publishing and Hollywood and figure out how they do things, why they do them that way, and then I need to borrow, and rearrange, the things that they're doing to fit my industry so that I can invent and create this new industry.
It's harder than you might think to squander millions of dollars, but a flawed software development process is a tool well suited to the job.
In software you can't really add people and expect to get more done, because their ability to understand the program and what's going on it would require so much investment and all their work would require so much review that you'd be more likely to slow things down.
Consciousness, like a complex system of software, has thousands of levels of nested, self-accessing subroutines
In 1991, I co-founded my first start-up, Ink Development, which made software for an early tablet computer.
I know there's been questions about-so how long does that continue-and we've now been very clear about that, that software updates to Symbian devices are expected until at least 2016. So there's a long history still to be paved for Symbian in the future.
WTO is not the forum for labour standards. Next, the U.S. will argue the time zone difference is an unfair competitive advantage enjoyed by India that enables our software engineers to work while the Americans sleep.
