- peter_d_sherman 7y agoIf the old harware aphorism is "Never trust a computer larger than you can lift", then the software counterpart to that must be "Never trust a compiler that doesn't fit on a single floppy". <g> "Never trust a compiler that doesn't fit on a single floppy" I'm coining that second expression right here on Hacker News, today, 1/22/2020!
