// C'est Byzance : trois citations !

"Dans chaque petit problème, il y a un grand problème qui ne demande qu'à en sortir."
Hoare

"The second is the most dangerous system a man ever designs."
Frederic Brooks, The mythical man-month

It is not enough to be a great programmer, you have to find a great problem.
Charles Simonyi

Et encore :
"Right about that first year at PARC, under psychotherapy, I discovered  I was confusing my talent with my temperament. I did not have the temperament of a programmer. I realised I needed a group."
Alan Kay, créateur de SmallTalk, qui précise :
"We called SmallTalk smalltalk - papotage, menus propos - so that noboddy would expect anything from it."

Oui, c'est vraiment Byzance, aujourd'hui !
