NFJS Quotes
I’m fairly confident that many of my readers are also on my qotd (quote of the day) list (and if you’re not, but would like to be, just drop me a note or post a comment) so you know how much I dig quotes. Needless to say, NFJS has provided a number of interesting quips – here are some highlights. These are mostly accurate though I wouldn’t swear on a Bible that they are verbatim.
Proof that JavaScript (and dynamic languages in general) are finally starting to be treated as first class citizens… Overhead in the (rather inadequate) restrooms.
“Two years ago, if you’d have told me that I’d give up a weekend and spend $600 to learn JavaScript, I’d have laughed at you.”
The first one’s free… Justin Gehtland in the Spring/AOP “birds of a feather” session.
“Spring is the free vial of crack [for Aspect Oriented Programming]…next thing you know, you’re mainlining the stuff.”
Compiler? I don’t need no stinking compiler… Mr. Gehtland again (though he may have been quoting someone else).
“In two years, we’ll all look at compilers like slow, broken unit tests.”
That’s all for tonight…must rest up for the last day!
