====== Quotes ======

Software design is widely recognised as being a "wicked" or "ill-structured" problem, characterised by ambiguous specifications, no true/false solutions (only ones that are "better" or "worse" from a particular perspective), the lack of any "stopping rule" to determine when a solution has been reached, and no ultimate test of whether a solution meets the requirements.
—[[What Do We Know about the Effectiveness of Software Design Patterns|Zhang and Budgen]]

It is very rare that students are so bad that I cannot learn anything from them.
—Attributed to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Rubinstein|Arthur Rubinstein]]
