On the nature of Computing Science - Edsger W. Dijkstra

This quote wurde hinzugefügt von megabitch
Simplicity is a great virtue but it requires hard work to achieve it and education to appreciate it. And to make matters worse: complexity sells better. The computing industry is not the only one that has discovered that sore truth: so has the academic world. If you deliver a lecture that is crystal clear from the beginning to end, your audience feels cheated and mutters while leaving the lecture hall "That was all rather trivial, wasn't it?."

I contributed this quote and the first time I tried to type it I found it too long to type (so much for a quote about simplicity). I've tried to edit it 3 times to keep only the first two sentences but the pending change silently disappear (rejected?). How does this work?
