| Jeg fortsætter med at læse mig gennem bøgerne om mumitroldene på svensk, i øjeblikket mest for at blive bedre til svensk, men også for at arbejde mig frem mod Pappan och havet, som allerede nu har opbygget så mytologisk status i min feberhede hjerne ...more | |

Imagine a future when technology has made most people redundant, except a few engineers and managers. That's the world of Player Piano, and naturally, all the surplus people are dissatisfied with the situation. Written in 1952, this technology isn't A ...more |

| Pre-tolkien fantasy, beautifully written, but with a story that moved so glacially that I soon lost interest. | |

| Denne bog var pensum til et kursus i videnskabsteori som jeg fulgte på Københavns Universitet. Angiveligt har den været pensum på det kursus i årevis, men som foreløbig udgave. Først to-tre uger inde i kurset blev den tilgængelig i handlen, så vi sta ...more | |

It's a bit dismaying that I have to re-read books I read in my teens to find genuine hard science-fiction. It's not always a good idea to re-read books you read at an impressionable age, but Rendezvous with Rama holds up. This is classic SF. The first ...more |

I en alder af 54 er jeg vel endelig blevet gammel nok til at læse om mumitroldene. Min kone og jeg var i Stockholm og vandrede ved et tilfælde ind på en udstilling med børnebogsillustrationer på Valdemarsudde. Der var mange gode værker, men særligt To ...more |

| I no longer remember exactly how I cam across this book, but I think it was recommended in a podcast, or an article I read. I seem to vaguely remember that it was presented as an unusual take on first contact, and since I'm a sucker for first-contact ...more | |
“Providing technical expertise includes not confusing stakeholders with details they can’t make sense of or use.”

“The more you produce, the more you have to read. Automated code generation only makes matters worse. As Martin Fowler writes about low code quality: “Even small changes require programmers to understand large areas of code, code that’s difficult to understand.” [32] Code that’s difficult to understand slows you down. On the other hand, every minute you invest in making the code easier to understand pays itself back tenfold.”

“3.2 Why Programming Is Difficult What makes software development so hard? There’s more than one reason. One is, as discussed in section 1.1, that we’re using the wrong metaphors. That clouds our thinking, but that’s not the only reason. Another problem is that a computer is quantitatively different from a brain. Yes, that’s another problematic metaphor”

“A lot of people see doubt as legitimate philosophical posture. They think of themselves in the middle, whereas of course really, they're nowhere.”

“Will highly comprehensible code, by virtue of being easy to modify, inevitably be supplanted by increasingly less elegant code until some equilibrium is achieved between comprehensibility and fragility? Perhaps simple on the outside/fragile on the inside can be an effective survival strategy for evolving artifacts.”
