WTF Code

Most software today is very much like an Egyptian pyramid with millions of bricks piled on top of each other, with no structural integrity, but just done by brute force and thousands of slaves. - Alan Kay
Bumped into this neat quote about programming and quality of software today on a site called “WTF Code” - holds pretty much true for unfortunately large amounts of software today, especially for commercial proprietary products (comments to dispute are always welcome :) ).
