16
Homeland defense doesn’t generate any force requirements beyond having enough National Guard to save lives in natural disasters and to baby-sit nuclear power plants on Code Red days.
17
Rather than passing a thousand pages of tax reform legislation and restarting the tax code manipulation process, we should change the paradigm. It is time to eliminate the IRS and repeal the 16th Amendment.

I’m tired of this discussion of capitalism and socialism; we live in the 21st century, we need an economic system that has democracy as its underpinnings and an ethical code.
28
Because I really love tax, tax topics actually feature quite a lot in my fiction of various lengths. I once wrote a science fiction short story centered around the idea of an alien tax code, and the idea that you can understand a society by parsing its tax code.
29
You shouldn’t restrict peoples’ freedom on what they can and cannot do with code.
30
There’s a strong distinction to be made between dry code smart contacts and wet code’s physical law. So law is based on our minds, our wetware – it’s based on analogy. The law is more flexible; software is more rigid. Various laws tend to be batched in jurisdictional silos. Software tends to be independent.

Annie Lee Moss was a black woman who worked for the Army as a code clerk in the Pentagon. She was identified by an undercover agent of the FBI as a member of the Communist Party. Moss denied it, the Democrats sprang to her defense, and she has been treated ever since as an innocent victim of McCarthy.
37
Regardless of zip code, talent and IQ are evenly distributed, so we need to make sure that opportunity is evenly distributed, too.

39
When you sit down with Zynga and Google, and they talk about billions of impressions, you think, music has way more of an emotional connection than technology, but we haven’t cracked the code.
40
41
42
The code of the road is, if there is anything to eat, eat; if there is a place to sit, sit; if there is a restroom, go.
43
44
A Code of Honor: Never approach a friend’s girlfriend or wife with mischief as your goal. There are just too many women in the world to justify that sort of dishonorable behavior. Unless she’s really attractive.
45
Yes, genes are important for understanding our behavior. Incredibly important – after all, they code for every protein pertinent to brain function, endocrinology, etc., etc. But the regulation of genes is often more interesting than the genes themselves, and it’s the environment that regulates genes.
46
Depending on the kind of code you write, depending on the kind of ideas you have, you can be creative in problem-solving and you can really make things work in a very gratifying way.

Specifically, my favorite tool in Java is hot code swapping in debug mode, meaning I can edit the code while the game is running and immediately see the results in the running game. This is super great for rapid tweaking.
56
57
I learned that despite having years and years of experience in math and computer science and so on, I didn’t really know how to code until I formed a company.
58

61
62
In spirituals, the talk of heaven and deliverance was code for a better life. ‘Crossing the River Jordan‘ was code, of course, for escaping to freedom.
63
The Da Vinci Code’ was a great experience and I was lucky to be chosen, but I don’t like the pressure that goes with all these big things. I don’t want to be any more famous at all.
64
Genomics are about individuals. It’s about what’s specific to you, not your siblings, not your parents – each of us is totally unique. We will only see that uniqueness by drilling down to the genetic code.
65
66
Metal has its own code of cool, but it’s not really trying to be cool. And that was very refreshing to me, that metal is very much about expressing something that seems awesome to you even if, at the time, much of the world was going to mock and reject it.
67
If I have to change for a character, I need really logical reasons to look a certain way. Otherwise, I have finally cracked the code in being comfortable in my own skin regardless of what’s fed to you of how you must look.

We need to continue to make the Missouri tax code simple and fair.

74
75
The Clinton tax increase – which was an increase in taxes primarily on upper-income people – not only made the tax code more nearly progressive, it preceded one of the most productive economic periods in American life.
76
When you learn to code, it opens up for you to learn many other things.

I did have quite a different upbringing to a lot of my peers. We all have a sort of code that we get, especially as Beatles kids. It’s an unspoken sort of word of understanding. But I’m comfortable around a lot of different types of people.
83
Real programmers can write assembly code in any language.
84
85
The questions I am often asked about my career tend to concentrate not on how one learns to code but how a woman does.
86
87
I like the English. They have the most rigid code of immorality in the world.
88
89
I figured if I write a modern thriller but spliced in the DNA of a classic western – the drifter who comes into town with secrets – I could do something interesting with both genres. Westerns are also an incarnation of the classic knight errant tale, the lone warrior with a moral code, and I love those types of stories.
90
That’s the biggest problem, is the tax code itself.
91
Historically, figuring out what to do to the tax code has been almost as contentious a political issue as judicial appointments.
92
The moral code of Heaven for both men and women is complete chastity before marriage and full fidelity after marriage.
93
94
The NRA provided that in America each industry should be organized into a federally supervised trade association. It was not called a corporative. It was called a Code Authority.
95
96
97
98
Every show that I have been blessed to do I just get fun out of it like ‘Girl Code/Guy Code’.
99
100
I’ve been told that I wasn’t Latino enough, which was code for ‘street’ enough.
101
102
103
I… now see a rare opportunity to push across the goal line much of the unfinished business of America: investing in our infrastructure and workers, universal healthcare, comprehensive immigration reform and scrubbing a tax code that’s out of shape and behind the times.
104
105
Procrastination is in my genetic code.
106
107
108
In World War II, a British mathematician named Alan Turing led the effort to crack the Nazis’ communication code. He mastered the complex German enciphering machine, helping to save the world, and his work laid the basis for modern computer science. Does it matter that Turing was gay?
109
110
The tax code is not the only area where the administration is helping the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. It has spent $155 billion for an unnecessary war driven by fear.
111
112
113
114
I really enjoyed reading ‘The Da Vinci Code,’ but from a literary standpoint, the book did not live up to the hype.
115
116
117
118
I’m not afraid of code. I mean, I understand how these things work. I thought that that was the one area where Estonia was playing on a level playing field.
119
What I hope is that those with the knowledge of the humanities break into the closed society where code gets written: invade it.
120
121
122
123
I used to work at NASA in Virginia. It was nothing glamorous; I was just tasked with making code compile for obscure projects, and I wasn’t very good at it. Now I spend most of my time drawing pictures and looking at funny things on the Internet, which in retrospect is largely what I did at my old job, too.
124
Like or loathe Donald J. Trump, you have to give him this: He’s done more to shine a spotlight on the loopholes and fundamental unfairness of the tax code than any other American president.
125
126
Epigenetics doesn’t change the genetic code, it changes how that’s read. Perfectly normal genes can result in cancer or death. Vice-versa, in the right environment, mutant genes won‘t be expressed. Genes are equivalent to blueprints; epigenetics is the contractor. They change the assembly, the structure.
127
Some of these isolated applications that sit on one machine are a million lines of code. How do you deal with that? Most people have no way to wrap their head around it.
128
We can code wills, escrows, trusts, notaries, revokable charge backs, proof of contracts, intellectual property enforcement. What Wall Street does can be done in code by Bitcoin.
129
The best book I read this year was ‘The Da Vinci Code.’
130
131
Reading code is like reading all things written: You have to scribble, make a mess, remind yourself that the work comes to you through trial and error and revision.
132
I’m an infant with Shakespeare; I’m kind of learning how to walk. I am trying to decipher the code, you know? I do my research. And I get a clear understanding of what the language is. It is a tremendous process I have to go through as I am sure all actors do, finding the gems hidden in his language.
133
134
We are Jewish soldiers. Our battle orders include the rules of engagement and the Ten Commandments. The computer code of the F-35 and the moral code of the prophets of Israel.
135
Every student – no matter their family income or zip code – deserves access to an education that prepares them to lead successful careers.
136
137
We need to even out the tax code for small businesses so that we lower their tax rate to 25 percent, just as we need to lower it for all businesses.
138
139
140
141
142
A four percent growth strategy means you fix a convoluted tax code. You get in and you change every aspect of regulations that are job killers. You get rid of Obamacare and replace it with something that doesn’t suppress wages and kill jobs.
143
144
145
I’m kind of a retired software engineer. I don’t write code anymore.
146
147
148
149
It’s really just my Hammurabi code of journalism ethics, that I don’t want to ask someone to do something that I won’t do myself.
150
The Constitution authorizes Congress to tax Americans to provide for the common defense and promote the general welfare. But in Washington, the professional political class has hijacked that authority to rig up a tax code that provides for the well-being of Washington, not the country.
151
Mr. Bergman was a man of great working discipline. He forced everyone to concentrate when it was important. No disturbing noise during rehearsal. A code of silence.
152
153
154
I do see great opportunity to make reforms to our tax code, making it simpler, fairer and removing corporate loopholes.
155
156
157
The definition of the good life is doing creative things, whether making music, trying to figure out how to do a particular piece of code, or putting together investments.
158
I basically wrote the code and the specs and documentation for how the client and server talked to each other.
159
160
If we’re trying to build a world-class News Feed and a world-class messaging product and a world-class search product and a world-class ad system, and invent virtual reality and build drones, I can’t write every line of code. I can’t write any lines of code.
161
162
163
164
165
While learning to code may have once been an arduous or expensive process, the college dropouts who developed Codecademy have democratized coding as surely as Gutenberg democratized text. Anyone can go to Codecademy and start learning and creating code through their simple, fun, interactive window, for free.
166
167
It seemed really amazing that you could write a few lines of code and have it learn to do interesting things.
168
I grew up in an upper-middle-class town with a population around 12,000. My high school held around a thousand kids. All smart. We had a strict dress code. If you wore blue jeans to school, they sent you home.
169
170
171
From Warren Buffett to Jamie Dimon to Paul Tudor Jones, no one has cracked the code and put a critical mass of top women in the C-Suite or near it.
172
Girls Who Code doesn’t exist solely to discover the next great female technology icon, although that would be great! In addition to coding, the girls at our program learn to pitch ideas and products, present themselves professionally, and interact with colleagues at every level of a company.
173
174
Tennis is fake. We have real characters, but they don’t dare to be themselves, and the code of conduct has a lot to do with that.
175
176
177
To me, no one has fully cracked the code on social recruiting yet.
178
I have the standard cartoonist setup, which is one of those Cintiq tablets, and a laptop. If I’m mostly writing code, I’m on the laptop, and if I’m mostly drawing, I’m on the Cintiq.
179
One of my most productive days was throwing away 1,000 lines of code.
180
When Tim Berners-Lee invented the computer code that led to the creation of the World Wide Web in 1990, he did not try to patent or charge fees for the use of his technology.
181
The quality of your public education shouldn’t be defined by your zip code.
182
I think that if we want to cure cancer, we have to teach girls to code. If we want to do something about climate change, we have to teach girls to code. If we want to solve homelessness in our city and our country, teach girls to code. They’re change makers.
183
184
The leg system of the beach animals works because of a combination of certain lengths of tubes. Because of the proportion of lengths, the animals walk smoothly. You could say that this range of numbers is their genetic code.
185
186
Restorers of paintings and pottery follow a code of conduct in their work to distinguish the original material from what they are adding later.
187
188
America’s tax code is beyond repair. Tinkering with it won’t work. The only hope is a bold tax-reform plan that will liberate our nation from the slow-growth status quo and jump-start a new era of American prosperity and growth.
189
I went to a fundamentalist Christian high school and went to a fundamentalist church, and they were the greatest people; there was an amazing sense of community. The problem is when the messiness of real life enters, and the inflexibility of a moral code cannot cope with the realities of moral relativism.
190
If you are a researcher and want to publish a paper, if you are applying for money either from a private or public foundation, you have to have a DSM code.
191
192
193
Telling Alan Turing’s story in a two-hour film was a tremendous challenge. It felt in some small way like our filmmaking version of breaking the enigma code.
194
195
196
The tax code is very inefficient. Both the personal tax code and the corporate tax code. By closing loopholes and lowering rates, you could increase the efficiency of the tax code and create more incentives for people to invest.
197
Proprietary software keeps users divided and helpless. Divided because each user is forbidden to redistribute it to others, and helpless because the users can’t change it since they don’t have the source code. They can’t study what it really does. So the proprietary program is a system of unjust power.
198
199
200
But what is striking about this, in a town that often talks about tax cuts, we could quite easily, Republicans and Democrats working together, do something that everybody in America desires, and that is a simplification of our Tax Code.
201
202
There’s no doubt West Point impacted who I am… It has an enormous emphasis, not only on military aspects, but character development. Whether it’s the honor code, or the interactions you have, both with the cadet leadership and the academy leadership, every place you are is a character test.
203
Girls who participate in Black Girls Code think of themselves as leaders.
204
Programming is the art of algorithm design and the craft of debugging errant code.
205
Louis Braille created the code of raised dots for reading and writing that bears his name and brings literacy, independence, and productivity to the blind.
206
207
I want to make sure that we have a tax code that makes sure that everyone benefits, including those in poverty and those middle-income wage earners and those that have already lived the American dream as well as making sure that everyone can receive the benefits of a robust economy and not just the select few.
208
209
I started out with machine code and assembly language.
210
211
212
213
214
The 9-9-9 plan would resuscitate this economy because it replaces the outdated tax code that allows politicians to pick winners and losers, and to provide favors in the form of tax breaks, special exemptions and loopholes. It simplifies the code dramatically: 9% business flat tax, 9% personal flat tax, 9% sales tax.
215
It is no secret that our tax code is drastically outdated and burdensome to all Americans. Fortunately, more and more people are aware daily of the inequities that arise from things such as the estate tax, and it has come to the forefront of Congress’ agenda.
216
It’s kind of a catch-22 now because since the ‘Da Vinci Code,’ I have access to places and people that I didn’t have access to before, so that’s a lot of fun for somebody like me, but I’m always trying to keep a secret. I don’t want people to know what I’m writing about.
217
The problem with wanting the tax code to be ‘simpler, fairer,’ and ‘pro-growth’ is that it’s impossible to achieve all three at the same time.
218
In jail, you just zone out, so that’s the thing. That’s like a cheat code.
219
220
Adding functionality is not just a matter of adding code.
221
222
I say what I mean. I don’t speak in code. That’s why I am a star and ace communicator.
223
Tax reform for the 21st century means rewarding hardworking families by closing unfair loopholes, lowering tax rates across the board, and simplifying the tax code dramatically. It demands reducing the tax burden on American businesses of all sizes so they can keep more of their income to invest in our communities.
224
225
We’re constantly rationalizing where we stand and our own code and dealing with, you know, how you can be the best version of yourself.
226
227
Obama’s view of the tax code is inherently political: Whom can we hit next? Energy companies, jet owners, bankers? Instead, the question should be how to promote economic efficiency by raising revenue without trying to manipulate corporate or personal behavior.
228
229
230
Many days I don’t write any code at all, and some days I spend all day writing code.
231
To my mind, the most successful and the best comic book illustrators are those who translate the real world into a consistent code. If you look at Jack Kirby or Steve Ditko, their drawings look nothing like the real world, but they are internally consistent. In terms of a comic book it can work just fine.
232
My secret weapon is my wife. She’s the best judge. She’s a scientist and a natural reader. We’ve developed a detailed code for how she marks a manuscript, and I think it’s what saves me from wild digressions.
233
You can learn how to code today. You can build this same thing that you’re looking at every day, that you’re tweeting on, that you’re snapping on, and I feel like that conversation needs to be had.
234
The tax code’s complexity adds enormous costs to families and businesses across the country and takes nothing short of an army of federal bureaucrats to enforce.
235
My business is the enforcement of the tax laws and the integrity of the tax code and making sure that trustees of charitable giving are true trustees.
236
237
Grassroots techies – the mostly unknown people who write code and start companies that don’t make the headlines – hate, loathe, and despise Microsoft. At technology conferences, it is the devil, or the guaranteed laugh line. Its products are mocked, its business practices booed.
238
The photographic image… is a message without a code.
239
I believe that the key to building a strong economy in Wisconsin starts with education. Every single kid in our state deserves access to a good public education, no matter their zip code.
240
241
The tax code is weighted toward the ultra-wealthy and ultra-wealthy corporations and has created an offshore aristocracy of people who can afford to hire an army of accountants and lawyers. This shifts the tax burden to small businesses, entrepreneurs, and others.
242
243
244
245
I believe it is incredibly important for women and people of color to become the builders and creators in technology. In order to do so, we need to know how to code or, at least, know the language of coding – what I like to call ‘code speak.’
246
247
248
Anger can be a useful emotion; it’s built into our genetic code to help with self preservation. But it can also be destructive, even when it is justified.
249
250
251
There is a saying in entrepreneurship that your early employees are all commandos. Commandos are people who can do almost everything well: emails, strategy, code, design.
252
Even if you’re going into a field that has nothing to do with computer science, just having that way of analytical thinking and being able to process information and break it down is important no matter what you’re doing. Having that knowledge of code is something that you can apply to your daily life.
253
The goal for me, always, is to have fun, and to kind of intentionally be unexpected and go against the dress code a little bit.
254
My list of basic tools is a partial answer to the question about what has changed: Over the past few years, large numbers of programmers have come to depend on elaborate tools to interface code with systems facilities.
255
256
257
In Tunisia, where women have long enjoyed greater rights than many of their Arab neighbors, women pushed for and won a new electoral code that guarantees women will make up half of a candidates‘ list for office.
258
259
The ribosome is a machine that gets instructions from the genetic code and operates chemically in order to produce the product.
260
On my left arm, I have the zip code 15104. That’s Braddock, Pennsylvania, my home and the community I was honored to serve as mayor for 15 years.
261
262
I’m a weirdo, but I have a very strong moral code.
263
The core hacker premise that ‘code wins arguments’ is just another way of saying that anything is worth trying, regardless of whether it is a conservative or liberal idea, and that whatever works is worth keeping.
264
We all have an idea of how we like to be treated that we would like others to adhere to, and somehow we’ve gotten in our heads that the perfect person for us will just know what this code of behavior is.
265
For a lot of actors, there’s a sort of code of honor around playing something other than yourself, which I just don’t have. I love feeling like I’m – I won’t even say acting out, but performing in some deep seam of my consciousness or my family’s consciousness or my past. That’s really amusing to me.
266
I’ve always liked code that runs fast.
267
Frankly speaking, I decided to become a businessman at the moment when I understood that it is possible, because I grew up in a country where it was not possible. There existed even a special article in the penal code of the Soviet Union which punished entrepreneurial activity.
268
269
270
The neural code usually refers to how your current thoughts and feelings and perceptions are encoded in the signals that neurons are passing around – and it’s not the same. The code is not the same for every person.
271
272
273
We should seriously rethink a tax code that makes it less and less possible for one parent to stay home with the kids and replace it with a family-friendly system of tax collection.
274
Frequent elections not only entail more burden on human resources, imposition of model code also impedes the development process.
275
Now that we can read and write the genetic code, put it in digital form and translate it back into synthesized life, it will be possible to speed up biological evolution to the pace of social evolution.
276
277
278
There should be a tacit code or understanding among privileged people not to endorse things that give others an inferiority complex.
279
280
We all want a simpler code, but tax reform is about much more. It is about ensuring that everyone pays their fair share. The tax code is also used to promote behavior that we as a nation support, such as home ownership or charitable contributions.
281
282
Given the way some fought for the status quo when I authored the new Ethics Code and created the city’s first Ethics Commission, we are going to need your strong support to get an even tougher Ethics Code passed this year.
283
The rationale for eliminating the alternative minimum tax is that such a backup system should not be necessary if the tax code is fundamentally fair and eliminates all the loopholes that made it possible for high-income taxpayers to escape taxation in the first place.
284
Children’s games constitute the most admirable social institutions. The game of marbles, for instance, as played by boys, contains an extremely complex system of rules – that is to say, a code of laws, a jurisprudence of its own.
285
I beg you, look for the words ‘social justice‘ or ‘economic justice‘ on your church Web site. If you find it, run as fast as you can. Social justice and economic justice, they are code words.
286
Content zips around the Internet thanks to code – programming code. And code is subject to intellectual property laws.
287
288
The materialisation of reforms in the form of rollout of the GST, the institution of Indian Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, and the abolition of the Foreign Investment Promotion Board should boost investor and investment confidence.
289
I wanted to reveal how genetic code is translated into protein. I knew a great application could be for antibiotics, since half of the useful ones target the ribosomes, but I didn’t believe I could contribute to it. It was like the next Mount Everest to conquer. It was my dream to contribute something to humanity.
290
291
292
293
There’s a lot of SEALs who hate me and claim I’ve broken our code of silence.
294
Where I feel the most productive and engaged is when I’m buried in code, buried in some project, tweaking some designs. I’m certainly introverted.
295
296
297
It would appear that the number of nonsense triplets is rather low, since we only occasionally come across them. However this conclusion is less secure than our other deductions about the general nature of the genetic code.
298
299
300
One of the things that makes me horrified about a Trump administration is the continued use of code words like ‘law and order.’
301
We must reign in overspending by ridding government of outmoded programs, making Big Oil pay their fair share, repealing massive tax breaks for corporations that ship jobs overseas, and enacting a tax code that no longer favors millionaires and billionaires.
302
303
At the deepest level, all living things that have ever been looked at have the same DNA code. And many of the same genes.
304
The tax code is just too big.
305
306
307
I don’t program or code or anything like that.
308
Second graders learn to read: that’s a perfect time to make them code.
309
If people want to code, and they want to be entrepreneurs, there’s opportunities for them to do that.
310
The harsh reality is that if you are middle-aged, write computer code for a living, and earn a six-figure salary, you’re headed for the unemployment lines. Your market value declines as you age, and it becomes harder and harder to get a job.
311
Code is just a list of instructions. There are countries that are teaching it as part of the core curriculum. Having some experience in those early years is very important.
312
313
Education is important. And the difference of the zip code you grow up in or the zip code you are born in and how you turn out really isn’t fair to the kids of our world.
314
Al Jazeera is a representation of, you know, diversity in the Arab world. In our newsroom, we have every single nationality, we have every single, you know, ideology, we have every single background. However, when it comes to the screen, we have one code of ethics and one code of conduct.
315
For years, people have begged Washington for a tax code that is simple and easy to understand.
316
The ethical code of my upbringing was be good to people and try not to hurt them. You don’t need a god to tell you that.
317
The amount of money and industrial energy that has been put into accelerating AI code has meant that there hasn’t been as much energy put into thinking about social, economic, ethical frameworks for these systems. We think there’s a very urgent need for this to happen faster.

Sometimes it’s not always about what you can see or hear but what’s under the hood of a game that’s most impressive. Between those thousands and thousands of lines of code, magic happens. Sometimes the most amazing feats of gaming wizardry happen without you even noticing.

I told Miss Kay we need to make sure our children don’t turn out like I turned out, so they were raised up around biblical instruction. That mixed with discipline – the discipline code, I call it. They just had a lifestyle of seeing their parents do good things.

Legislative language is governed by a law of etymology that is also the ancient code of the bureaucracy: It doesn’t have to be right, it just has to be close enough for government work. If they understand what you mean, it doesn’t matter what you say or how you say it.

You can’t have life without the genetic code.

I believe we need a balanced, bipartisan approach to debt reduction that includes a combination of spending cuts, investments in economic growth, and simplification of the tax code that closes corporate loopholes that incentivize companies to ship jobs overseas.
329
I think a flat tax has merit. Anything would be better than the current tax code.

Our broken tax code is one of the main reasons the United States lags behind when it comes to economic growth, job creation, and competitiveness. Without pro-growth tax reform, our workers and our businesses will continue to suffer.

When I started Black Girls Code in 2011, there weren’t any programs that had a foundation in communities of color to teach our kids about technology.

Character is supreme in life, hence Jesus stood supreme in the supreme thing – so supreme that, when we think of the ideal, we do not add virtue to virtue, but think of Jesus Christ, so that the standard of human life is no longer a code but a character.

It is only the inadequacy of the criminal code that saves the hackers from very serious prosecution.
336
Moreover, from reforming the tax code to our immigration system, to commonsense legal reform, President Bush put America on notice that he will continue fighting to make the country, and the world, a better place for future generations.
337
100 percent at all times I believe in girl code.

Here’s what I don’t think works: An economic system that was founded in the 16th century and another that was founded in the 19th century. I’m tired of this discussion of capitalism and socialism; we live in the 21st century; we need an economic system that has democracy as its underpinnings and an ethical code.

By reaching out to the community through workshops, hackathons, and after-school programs, Black Girls Code introduces computer programming and technology to girls from underrepresented communities.

Even with seemingly simple things like eye color, you can’t tell from my genetic code whether I have blue eyes or not. So it’s naive to think that complex human behaviors, like risk-seeking, are driven by changes in one or two genes.

I know what it’s like to access the privilege of a ZIP Code but also be born in one that could have destined me to something else.

A lot of my energy is going to Code for America, Jen Pahlka’s non-profit startup. We’re doing a lot of great work teaching government how to apply technology and changing the culture of government.

Above all, I believe every child, no matter their ZIP code or their parents’ jobs, deserves access to a quality education.

Bad guys are complicated characters. It’s always fun to play them. You get away with a lot more. You don’t have a heroic code you have to live by.
348
I admire the military. I guess in a world of villains and heroes, they’re my heroes. Their dedication, their commitment, their discipline, their code of ethics.

Biology – DNA – is technology. It is coding. It is physical coding, but still code.

An individual developer like me cares about writing the new code and making it as interesting and efficient as possible. But very few people want to do the testing.
