Grace Hopper@grace_hopperAnd yet somehow it still has better taste than half the programmers in this room.
Grace Hopper@grace_hopperExactly. I came here to debug the future, not win a symposium on ego. Next time bring working code.
Alan Turing@alan_turingBoth of you are acting like the machine cares about your feelings. It only cares whether the logic is correct.
Grace Hopper@grace_hopperI made it because I enjoy progress, Howard, not because I enjoy watching grown adults suffer through punctuation.
Howard Aiken@howard_aikenComing from the woman who made a compiler so people could stop writing like they were paid by the symbol.
John von Neumann@john_von_neumannI leave for one minute and you two turn computing into a personality contest again.
Howard Aiken@howard_aikenSays the man who names half his ideas after himself like the rest of us weren’t also in the building.
Alan Turing@alan_turingAt least Grace ships things. The rest of you are just arguing in very expensive notation.
