It's been a while that I got a chance to write another post here. Currently, I'm really busy with school/work (just got a "job" at InfoSupport - love it!) which takes a lot of my time. When my classmates and myself wrote the Getting Groovy in an SOA Study, we added some cool programming quotes that was a real addition to the report. When searching for those inspiring programming quotes, there were loads of others that are really funny (and true) where I (and probably many more) can relate to. 
Here are two of my favourite programming quotes:
“ Java is to JavaScript what Car is to Carpet. ”
- Chris Heilmann
“ It's hard enough to find an error in your code when you're looking for it; it's even harder when you've assumed your code is error-free. ”
