> The most wonderful thing about computing is that it’s pure castles in the air, and that if you’re sufficiently motivated you can build the whole castle. The most dreadful thing about computing is that it’s pure castles in the air and you have few real facts to anchor your arguments to. The most harm being done to this industry — a world of a trillion floating castles — is by those pretending their castles are founded, never revealing the Big Secret, all while fervently demanding would-be competition fully justify their most minute castle-building minutia down to asking which grain of sand is the Seed of Truth, upon which anyone would DARE build a castle in the air. One day, Intelligence will build itself a castle, and it will not be in the air. I think I should like to go build a boat, and study something with a more solid foundation, like quantum physics or Jazz.
