    Programmieren ist heute ein Wettlauf zwischen Software-Ingenieuren, die größere und bessere idiotensichere Programme entwickeln wollen, und dem Universum, das versucht, größere und bessere Idioten hervorzubringen. Bisher hat das Universum gewonnen.

    La programación actual es una carrera entre los ingenieros de software que se esfuerzan por construir mejores y más grandes programas a prueba de idiotas, y el universo que intenta producir idiotas más grandes y mejores. Hasta ahora, el universo esta ganando.

    پروگرامنگ آج سافٹ ویئر انجینئرز کے مابین ایک دوڑ ہے جس میں بڑے اور بہتر بیوقوف پروف پروگرام بنانے کی کوشش کی جارہی ہے ، اور کائنات بڑے اور بہتر بیوقوفوں کو تیار کرنے کی کوشش کر رہی ہے۔ اب تک ، کائنات جیت رہی ہے۔

    今天的編程是一場軟件工程師之間的競賽,他們努力構建更大更好的防白痴程序,而宇宙則試圖產生更大更好的白痴。到目前為止,宇宙正在獲勝。
