“Fools ignore complexity; pragmatists suffer it; experts avoid it; geniuses remove it.”
– Alan Perlis (Turing Award #1, ALGOL)
“Computer Science is the first engineering discipline in which the complexity of the objects created is limited solely by the skill of the creator, and not by the strength of raw materials.”
FWIW: I'm not the author of the content presented here (which is an outline from Edmond Lau's book). I've just copy-pasted it from somewhere over the Internet, but I cannot remember what exactly the original source is. I was also not able to find the author's name, so I cannot give him/her the proper credits.
