> My favorite is from Bill Gates: > “Measuring programming progress by lines of code is like measuring aircraft building progress by weight.” Nice. And then we have Windows that needs dozens of gigabytes disk space and
can do nothing useful at all, while debootstrapped Debian chroot can easily
serve a dynamic website backed by a database and weigh two orders of magnitude
less (minus the data, obviously). The analogy is quite apt, but the context of the author's company makes the
sentence hilarious. |
