| Ostensibly one of the most beautifully written book in the English language, I admit that I fail to understand what all the fuss is about. Granted, it was written at the end of the eighteenth century, and taking into account how staid and stuffy most ...more | |

| It's probably about thirty years ago that I read Slaughterhouse-Five, and to be honest, I remember nothing of it. I'd considered rereading it, but then instead read Cat’s Cradle, since it came out in a nice Folio Society edition. While that book came ...more | |

Man fryser og stresser over, om der er mad nok, eller om den brødskorpe, man har syet ind i sin madras, nu er blevet fundet af vagterne, mens man har været på strafarbejde i Sibiriens bidende kulde om dagen. Meget godt klaret af Solsjenitsyn, når man ...more |

| My late father-in-law left a collection of crime novels and science fiction in what is now my wife's summerhouse, and instead of lugging seven or eight books here and back again, I've begun to instead make a point of going through this small library. ...more | |

| Lejlighedsvis morsom nok til at få mig til at grine, men alligevel en lidt for frustrerende læseoplevelse. Jeg har fattet (håber jeg) at der er tale om satire, men jeg blev alligevel hurtigt træt af jeg-fortælleren, som er irriterende livs-uduelig og ...more | |

Even though this isn't a long book, it takes its sweet time to get started, and I'd almost given up on it when the plot (as much of it as there is) finally gets into gear. I can see why this is, in a sense, an interesting piece of literature, but I wa ...more |

Meget mod min vilje har jeg måtte følge et kursus i IT-forundersøgelser, og denne bog var pensum. Jeg må indrømme at jeg har det ret stramt med denne slags procesmodeller. Det virker som sådan som om bogens model er baseret på en masse konkret erfarin ...more |

| Til tider interessant, og med nogle fine formuleringer, men for ujævn til rigtigt at holde min interesse fangen. Jeg har aldrig helt forstået hvorfor der er så mange bildungsromaner, eller hvorfor man skulle fatte særlig interesse for dem, men det er ...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.”
