One can-\nnot help but be in awe when he contemplates the\nmysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous struc-\nture of reality. It is enough if one tries to compre-\nhend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose\na holy curiosity.\nAlbertEinstein*\nomputer programming is a human activity. One could hardly dis-\npute this assertion, and yet, perhaps because of the emphasis\nplaced on the machine aspects of programming, many people\n-many programmers-have never considered programming in\nthis light. Among programmers, there is a certain mystique--a certain\nwaving of the hands which takes place whenever one tries to probe the\nmanner in which programming is done. Programming is not done in a\ncertain way, they say, it is just done. Either you can program or you\ncannot. Some have it; some don't.\nOne of the corollaries of this mystique is the high salaries that must\nbe paid. to those programmers who *have it\"---and even to some who\n* From Death of a Genius, by William Miller, LIFE Magazine, May 2, 1955 C 1955 Time Inc.",

We have seen that much of that variance can\nbe accounted for by social factors-much more than we might\nhave believed from casual considerations. But, no matter how much\nvariance is attributable to social factors, there will always remain\na residue. No matter how similar the structure of two programming groups\nmight be, they will produce different finished products. In this section,\nwe shall try to account for some of those differences by examining factors\ncentering in and around the individual.\n*Reprinted with the permission of Macmillan Company.

Take the\nstatement: \"Some people marry their deceased\nwives' sisters.\" 1 can express this in language\nwhich only becomes intelligible after years of\nstudy, and this gives me freedom. I suggest to\nyoung professors that their first work should be\nwritten in a jargon only to be understood by the\nerudite few. With that behind them, they can ever\nafter say what they have to say in a language\n\"understanded by the people.\" In these days, when\nour very lives are at the mercy of professors,I\ncannot but think that they would deserve our grati-\ntude if they adopted my advice.\nBertrandRussell*\nf the poor workman hates his tools, the good workman hates poor\ntools. The work of the workingman is, in a sense, defined by his\ntools--witness the way in which the tool is so often taken to sym-\nbolize the worker: the tri-square for the carpenter, the trowel for\nthe mason, the transit for the surveyor, the camera for the photog-\n*Taken from Portraits from Memory,Copyright 1951,1952,1953 and 1956,by Bertrand\nRussell.
