Bulldozer00's Blog

While perusing my favorite quotes page for blog post seedlings, this one spoke to me:

“There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult.” – C.A.R. Hoare.

Being the mangler, distorter, and exaggerator that I am, here’s my version:

“There are two ways of camouflaging crappy work: One way is to present it so simply that there are no obvious deficiencies, and the other way is to make the presentation so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. Both ways are equally effective.” – C.A.R. Hoare + Bulldozer00.
