It’s true that no programmer is perfect, people even finds out nooks in the Microsoft Software’s then what’s the case of the remaining programmers. Here I have put down some funny quotes that are related to programmers…..

“Keyboard not found. Press < F1 > to RESUME. “

….Source unknown (appears in many common BIOSes as a real error message)

“Any sufficiently advanced bug is indistinguishable from a feature.”

….Bruce Brown

“Java is C++ without the guns, knives, and clubs”

…..James Gosling, co-inventor of Java

“As soon as we started programming, we found to our surprise that it wasn’t as easy to get programs right as we had thought. Debugging had to be discovered. I can remember the exact instant when I realized that a large part of my life from then on was going to be spent in finding mistakes in my own programs.”

…..Maurice Wilkes discovers debugging, 1949.

“I invented it, Bill made it famous.”
….David Bradley (wrote the code for Ctrl-Alt-Delete on the IBM PC)

“Writing in C or C++ is like running a chain saw with all the safety guards removed.”

…Bob Gray

This was my collection of quotes from around the net. My favourite among above quotes is 1st one.
