Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called KK. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name KK~enwikiquote that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:26, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Cast Away

Cast Away is a 2000 adventure film about a fictional FedEx employee who is stranded on an island after his plane crashes on a flight over the South Pacific. The film depicts his attempts to survive on the island using remnants of his plane's cargo, as well as his eventual escape and return to society. Star Tom Hanks was nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role at the 73rd Academy Awards for his critically acclaimed performance.
 * Directed by Robert Zemeckis. Written by William Broyles Jr..

At the edge of the world, his journey begins.

Chuck Noland

 * We live and we die by time, and we must not commit the sin of turning our back on time.
 * (talking to Wilson, the volleyball) Hey, you want to hear something funny? My dentist's name is James Spalding.
 * (to Wilson) You wouldn't have a match by any chance, would you?
 * (Having successfully lit a fire, putting more wood onto it) There we go! Light it up, c'mon! (singing) "The time to hesitate is through!" (throws more wood and gets briefly burned) Ouch! Haha, ouch! "No time to wallow in the mire. Try now, we can only lose. 'Cause girl, we can't get much higher. C'mon, baby, light my firrrrre!" (takes a palm branch, lighting the end, then holding it up) There you go. There you go! It's a signal fire! And it spells out S.O.S! (embers start falling around him) Woah! It's a meteor shower! (drops the branch back into the fire) Fireflies, go! Run! You're free, you're free! (the fire burns bigger) Yes! YES! Look what I've created! I have made FIRE! I...have made fire!
 * Gotta love crab. In the nick of time too. I couldn't take much more of those coconuts. Coconut milk is a natural laxative. That's something Gilligan never told us.
 * We were enroute from Memphis, for eleven and a half hours, for 175 miles an hour, so they think that we're right here. But, we went out of radio contact, then flew around that storm for about an hour, so that's a distance of what, 400 miles? Four hundred miles squared, that's 160,000 times pi, 3.14... 502,400. That's a search area of 500,000 square miles. That's twice the size of Texas. They may never find us.
 * (to Wilson) Do, do you have to keep bringing that up, huh? Ok, so it was a good thing we did a test because it wasn't going to be just a quick snap. Would've broken my neck, or leg or my back. Would've bled to death on the beach, but it's in the past. It was what, a year ago? SO let's just forget it...And what's your point? We just might make it. Did that thought ever cross your brain? Well, regardless I would rather take my chance out there on the ocean, than to stay here and die on this shithole island spending the rest of my life talking to a goddamn VOLLEYBALL!
 * I'm always going to keep this watch on Memphis time. Kelly time.
 * (to Kelly) So, let me get one thing straight here...we have a football team but they play in Nashville?
 * (to Kelly) I should've never gotten on that plane. I should've never gotten out of the car.
 * We both have done the math. Kelly added it all up and...knew she had to let me go. I added it up, and knew that I had...lost her. Because I was never going to get off that island. I was going to die there, totally alone. I was going to get sick, or get injured or something. The only choice I had, the only thing I could control was when, and how and where it was going to happen. So...I made a rope and I went up to the summit, to hang myself. I had to test it, you know? Of course, you know me. And the weight of the log, snapped the limb of the tree, so I-I-I couldn't even kill myself the way I wanted to. I had power over nothing. And that's when this feeling came over me like a warm blanket. I knew, somehow that I had to stay alive. Somehow. I had to keep breathing. Even though there was no reason to hope. And all my logic said that I would never see this place again. So that's what I did. I stayed alive. I kept breathing. And one day, the logic was proven all wrong because the tide came in, and gave me a sail. And now, here I am. I'm back in Memphis, talking to you. I have ice in my glass...And I've lost her all over again. I'm so sad that I don't have Kelly. But I'm so grateful that she was with me on that island. And I know what I have to do now. I got to keep breathing. Because tomorrow, the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide could bring?

Dialogue

 * Stan: So you missed the last truck by two minutes, huh?
 * Chuck Noland: Two minutes. Actually, it was less than that.
 * Stan: Well, the plane wasn't that heavy; you could've added fuel, picked up the speed, and made up the time.
 * Chuck Noland: It was about the trucks. Today's truck was two minutes late. Tomorrow, it's gonna be four minutes late, and then six minutes late, and then eight minutes late, and the next thing you know, we're US Mail.

 * Stan: We buried you. There was a coffin, a gravestone... the whole thing.
 * Chuck Noland: I had a coffin? [Stan nods] Well what was in it?

 * Kelly Frears: You said you'd be right back.
 * Chuck Noland: I'm so sorry.
 * Kelly Frears: Me too.

 * Kelly Frears: I always knew you were alive, I knew it. Everybody said that I had to let you go. I love you. You're the love of my life.
 * Chuck Noland: I love you too, Kelly. More than you'll ever know.
 * [She gets in the car with him]
 * Kelly Frears: [before he drives away] Chuck...
 * Chuck Noland: You have to go home now.
 * [Kelly nods]

 * [Last lines]
 * Bettina Peterson: You look lost.
 * Chuck Noland: I do?
 * Bettina Peterson: Where're you headed?
 * Chuck Noland: Well, I was just about to figure that out.
 * Bettina Peterson: Well, that's 83 South. And this road here will hook you up with I-40 East. If you turn right, that'll take you to Amarillo, Flagstaff, California. And if you head back that direction, you'll find a whole lot of nothing all the way to Canada.
 * Chuck Noland: I got it.
 * Bettina Peterson: All right, then. Good luck, cowboy.
 * Chuck Noland: Thank you.

Talk:Patton (film)

Accuracy concerns
I notice the article is semi-correctly citing the movie, but Patton's 2nd biographer (below) quotes huge portions (nearly all) of the material within as originating from Pattons Papers via his chief of staff. The material is presented in the book as part of a standard speech that Patton used in front of his individual units to inspire dedication, et. al.

Contrary to the movie given impression, Pattons men, even when he commanded armies (7th, 3rd) knew Patton, as he made it a rule to visit each unit in turn and give this speech. The biographer also cites the part that was left out of the movie. Part of that was used in another scene.

 * His first biographer also covered much of the material.
 * It is noteworthy that the producer of the film was General Marshall's Chief of Staff
 * Of further interest, was the censure after the Slapping Spat would not have been full disgrace, but instead was considered to have him back to the states for 2-4 months with every intention of sending him back to combat. Ike and Marshall did decide should not and would never recieve command of an Army-Group (Monty, Bradley), or Bradley would have been in command of an Army working for Patton, as in Sicilly. The breakout would probably have been far more effective in bagging a larger part of the Germany army when it did occur, as Bradley loathed Monty and did not work well with him.
 * Contrary to the movie, Patton and Monty had great respect for one another, and Monty wanted Patton to take Messina.
 * This becomes clearer knowing Bradley was the Senior Advisor on the Movie project, though by then he had a bone to pick with Patton for comments about Bradley in Pattons papers.

Copyright issue
It's against Wikiquote policy to include the entire text of a speech. If the source material is copyrighted, it's a clear copyright violation, and if not, it belongs in Wikisource. (I'm pretty sure the first case is true here.) Wikiquote should include only pithy excerpts of speeches. I'd like to ask readers of this article to review the full speech and trim it to some essential quotes so that we don't have to remove it completely. Thank you. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 09:18, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Sorry if I erred. I thought it would be better on Wikiquote than Wikipedia. I'm not sure if the version that I moved is the version that Patton actually delivered or the version from the film (or if there is a difference between the two). If it's the original speech, it's hard to imagine it being copyrighted (although it would have to be moved to the actual Patton article). Savidan 17:47, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Don't worry too much about it; it's a common misunderstanding. I don't know myself whether the cited text is the original, the film version, or someone's best recall of either. Since I watch the film periodically, I'll give this text an accuracy pass the next time I do. (George's article will have to fend for itself.) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 01:35, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Jacques de Molay

Jacques de Molay (est. 1244-5/1249-50 - 18 March 1314), a minor Frankish noble, served as the 23rd, and officially last, Grand Master of the Knights Templar, and is probably the best known Templar besides the order's founder and first grand master, Hugues de Payns. He failed to successfully lead the Templars through the inquisitions made against them and was burnt at the stake on an island in the river Seine in Paris, Ile de la Cité, on 18 March 1314.

Quotes

 * Quar nous navons volu ne volons le Temple mettre en aucune servitute se non tant come il hy affiert.
 * Translation: For we did not and do not wish the Temple to be placed in any servitude except that which is fitting.
 * In one of his memoranda to Pope Clement V from the summer of 1306.

 * Let evil swiftly befall those who have wrongly condemned us - God will avenge us.
 * Before he died it is said that he cursed both King Phillip and Pope Clement V, summoning them before God, the Supreme Judge, before the year was over.

 * It is just that, in so terrible a day, and in the last moments of my life, I should discover all the iniquity of falsehood, and make the truth triumph. I declare, then, in the face of heaven and earth, and acknowledge, though to my eternal shame, that I have committed the greatest crimes but it has been the acknowledging of those which have been so foully charged on the order. I attest - and truth obliges me to attest - that it is innocent! I made the contrary declaration only to suspend the excessive pains of torture, and to mollify those who made me endure them. I know the punishments which have been inflicted on all the knights who had the courage to revoke a similar confession; but the dreadful spectacle which is presented to me is not able to make me confirm one lie by another. The life offered me on such infamous terms I abandon without regret.
 * One of the foremost Templar scholars records of Jacques DeMolay's dying words.

Jonathan Ive

Sir Jonathan Paul "Jony" Ive KBE, HonFREng, RDI (born February 1967 in Chingford, London), is a British industrial designer and the senior vice president of Industrial design at Apple Inc.. Two-time winner of the Design Museum's inaugural Designer of the Year award (2002, 2003).

Sourced

 * Very often design is the most immediate way of defining what products become in people's minds.
 * In an interview for the BBC (January 2002)

 * The memory of how we work will endure beyond the products of our work.
 * A reference to the Apple design team, in an interview at the Design Museum (2003)
 * The defining qualities are about use: ease and simplicity. Caring beyond the functional imperative, we also acknowledge that products have a significance way beyond traditional views of function.
 * In an interview at the Design Museum (2003)

 * The more I learnt about this cheeky – almost rebellious – company, the more it appealed to me, as it unapologetically pointed to an alternative in a complacent and creatively bankrupt industry. Apple stood for something and had reason for being that wasn't just about making money.
 * On how he felt when he used a Mac for the first time at college, in an interview at the Design Museum (2003)

 * There's an applied style of being minimal and simple, and then there's real simplicity. This looks simple, because it really is.
 * On the design of the Apple Cinema Display, in an article by Leander Kahney in Wired News magazine (June 2003)

 * I think so many of the objects we're surrounded by seem trivial. And I think that's because they're either trying to make a statement or trying to be overtly different. What we were trying to do was have a very honest approach and an exploration of materials and surface treatment. So much of what we try to do is get to a point where the solution seems inevitable: you know, you think "of course it's that way, why would it be any other way?" It looks so obvious, but that sense of inevitability in the solution is really hard to achieve.
 * In an interview in Icon Magazine (July 2003)

 * It's sad and frustrating that we are surrounded by products that seem to testify to a complete lack of care. That's an interesting thing about an object. One object speaks volumes about the company that produced it and its values and priorities.
 * In an interview in The Daily Telegraph newspaper (November 2005)

 * Being superficially different is the goal of so many of the products we see . . . rather than trying to innovate and genuinely taking the time, investing the resources and caring enough to try and make something better.
 * In The Globe and Mail newspaper (January 2007)

 * I think there's almost a belligerence - people are frustrated with their manufactured environment. We tend to assume the problem is with us, and not with the products we're trying to use. In other words, when our tools are broken, we feel broken. And when somebody fixes one, we feel a tiny bit more whole.
 * Ive (2007) cited in: Lev Grossman "The Apple of Your Ear", Time Magazine, Friday, Jan. 12, 2007: About the iPhone upon its introduction*

 * It’s not too shabby is it?
 * About the iPhone, in the Macworld Keynote (2007)

 * We have always thought about design as being so much more than just the way something looks. It's the whole thing: the way something works on so many different levels. Ultimately, of course, design defines so much of our experience.
 * Ive explaining his view on Apple's use of design in the product video shown at WWDC 2013 for iOS 7.

 * I think there is a profound and enduring beauty in simplicity; in clarity, in efficiency. True simplicity is derived from so much more than just the absence of clutter and ornamentation. It's about bringing order to complexity.
 * Ive explaining the design philosophy behind iOS 7 in its product video, shown at WWDC 2013.

 * To create something that's genuinely new, you have to start again, and I think with great intent, you disconnect from the past.
 * Ive (2012) cited in: "Without Steve Jobs, Has Apple Lost its Mojo?", TODAY Online, Jun. 12, 2012: About the new MacBook Pro in its introduction video*

 * With a father who is a fabulous craftsman, I was raised with the fundamental belief that it is only when you personally work with a material with your hands, that you come to understand its true nature, its characteristics, its attributes, and I think – very importantly – its potential.
 * Dezeen: "Fewer designers seem to be interested in how something is actually made" says Jonathan Ive (3 May 2016)

 * I think a beautiful product that doesn't work very well is ugly.
 * Vanity Fair: "Jonathan Ives Shares Three Lessons He Learned From Steve Jobs" (9 October 2014)
 * Paying attention to what’s happened historically actually helps give you some faith that you are going to find a solution. Faith isn’t a surrogate for engineering competence, but it can certainly help fuel the belief that you’re going to find a solution. And that’s important.
 * Time: "Apple Design Chief Jonathan Ive on the iPhone X: We Had to Solve ‘Extraordinarily Complex Problems’" (16 November 2017)
 * My father was a really good craftsman – he was a silversmith – so I grew up understanding how things were made. That’s something that’s easy to take for granted, but everything that has been made has been thought about, designed, and I think that growing up with an appreciation of the nature of objects was hugely influential to me.

Ward Cunningham

Howard G. "Ward" Cunningham (born 26 May 1949) is an American computer programmer, most famous as the inventor of the first wiki, which was first called WikiWikiWeb (now called WardsWiki), and one of the pioneers of software design patterns and Extreme Programming.

Quotes

 * Why have a locked wiki when you can instead just post static Web pages?
 * On the lack of sense in using the Wiki format for overly constrained or simply locked pages, in The Wiki Way: Quick collaboration on the Web (2001), co-authored with Bo Leuf

 * Sometimes when you collaborate, you have to trust people more than you have any reason to do so. It works because most people are good
 * And of course there are people who do burn down wooden buildings. As a society, we have to deal with that, but if that's all we think about then we've given up on creativity
 * Ward Cunningham: The Web's wizard of working together (Updated: Dec. 19, 2005, 11:34 a.m.|Published: Dec. 19, 2005, 10:34 a.m.)

 * When I was at Tek, I was frustrated that computer hardware was being improved faster than computer software. I wanted to invent some software that was completely different, that would grow and change as it was used. That’s how wiki came about.
 * "Startup mines for riches in collaboration software" in The Portland Tribune (7 March 2008)

 * the best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer
 * Cunningham's Law

A Conversation with Ward Cunningham (2003)

 * Interview with Bill Venners at the JAOO conference in Aarhus, Denmark (23 September 2003) published in several installments at Artima.com.

Exploring with Wiki

 * "Exploring with Wiki : A Conversation with Ward Cunningham" Part I (20 October 2003)

 * My specific purpose for the first wiki was to create an environment where we might link together each other's experience to discover the pattern language of programming. I had previously worked with a HyperCard stack that was set up to achieve the same kind of goal. I knew people liked to read and author in that HyperCard stack, but it was single user.

 * I think there's a compelling nature about talking. People like to talk. In creating wiki, I wanted to stroke that story-telling nature in all of us. Second, and perhaps most important, I wanted people who wouldn't normally author to find it comfortable authoring, so that there stood a chance of us discovering the structure of what they had to say.

 * Discussion groups tend to keep covering the same ground over and over again, because people forget what was said before. I think the invention of the Frequently Asked Questions, the FAQ, was a response to that. A lot of times just reading the FAQ is more valuable than joining the discussion group.

 * A wiki works best where you're trying to answer a question that you can't easily pose, where there's not a natural structure that's known in advance to what you need to know.

 * Wiki pages are very much free form. Across the whole wiki there is a hypertext structure, but on a given page, within the versatility of your command of your natural language, you can say whatever needs to be said.

 * Wikis work best in environments where you're comfortable delegating control to the users of the system.

 * I'm not a fan of classification. It is very difficult to come up with a classification scheme that's useful when what you're most interested in is things that don't fit in, things that you didn't expect. But some people decided that every page should carry classification. They came up with a scheme, based on page names, to establish a classification structure for a wiki. And these people who care about classification maintain it.

 * Wiki has a feel of brainstorming, though it's not as interactive. You can do 10 minutes of brainstorming, and 30 minutes of analysis of the product of that brainstorming, and have something in 45 minutes. The pace on wiki is slower. You could write a page about an idea, or maybe a page about a bunch of ideas. Then you could come back in a week and see what's developed on that page.

 * A wiki is always in the process of being organized. But for every hour spent organizing, two more hours are spent adding new material. So the status quo for a wiki is always partially organized.

 * What you get as a wiki reader is access to people who had no voice before.

Collective Ownership of Code and Text

 * "Collective Ownership of Code and Text : A Conversation with Ward Cunningham" Part II (1 December 2003)

 * In the months before I made wiki, we had been having an argument. I think Kent Beck and I were on one side. People who had a lot of faith in the prevailing dogma of software engineering were on the other side. We said, "Collective code ownership is good." They said, "That's ridiculous. You'll never get responsibility. You'll never get quality if you don't have responsibility. And the only way you'll get responsibility is ownership. You have to pin the bugs back on somebody if you want them to ever rise above producing bugs." And I said, "Well that's wrong."

 * The decisions I made designing wiki were very much inspired by my desire to create a model for the collaborative process I thought should happen in large code bases. I wanted wiki to mimic that.

 * The code might be organized in a hierarchy, but the solution has more dimensions than will fit in a hierarchy. So when you discover a solution in a dimension that crosses across the hierarchy, you just have to go where the solution takes you and put the solution in.

 * All the time we find ourselves in situations where people know things about the program, but they can't apply that knowledge to the program. Why? Because the knowledge runs counter to some organizational decision that was made before they had that knowledge. In other words, the program becomes resistant to that collection of knowledge.

 * Often as you move comments around and have similar comments adjacent to each other, you find that half of the words can be cut out. Because a sentence says it all if the sentence is in just the right place. On Ward's wiki, the process has been called "refactoring," which is what we call the process in software. Ward's wiki is about software and it has software people on it, so they call it refactoring. Anyplace else it would probably be called editing. So on Ward's wiki, refactoring is an ongoing process. The assumption is that when something turns out to not be ideal, it will be refactored again. Everything is subject to refactoring.

 * Wiki is like a leaky bucket of information. It's losing information every day. But more information is coming in, so the net is positive. Even if it can lose things, wiki always has more to say than it did the day before.

 * When people work code they can often see things I set out to do that they wouldn't notice otherwise. And there are no obligations to say, "Ward you're brilliant," but sometimes they say, "Ward you're brilliant." And that strokes my ego. Pride of ownership? You bet.

 * The idea of where does an idea come from and who should get credit for it is pretty soft. But I think people are pretty good at dealing with that softness and recognizing contribution when they know the people involved. With collective ownership, we create a social situation where you can get to know a person by how they spin their intellect into source code statements.

 * It was a turning point in my programming career when I realized that I didn't have to win every argument. I'd be talking about code with someone, and I'd say, "I think the best way to do it is A." And they'd say, "I think the best way to do it is B. I'd say, "Well no, it's really A." And they'd say, "Well, we want to do B." It was a turning point for me when I could say, "Fine. Do B. It's not going to hurt us that much if I'm wrong. It's not going to hurt us that much if I'm right and you do B, because, we can correct mistakes. So lets find out if it's a mistake."

 * I can't tell you how much time is spent worrying about decisions that don't matter. To just be able to make a decision and see what happens is tremendously empowering, but that means you have to set up the situation such that when something does go wrong, you can fix it.

 * When you get in situations where you cannot afford to make a mistake, it's very hard to do the right thing. So if you're trying to do the right thing, the right thing might be to eliminate the cost of making a mistake rather than try to guess what's right.

 * We erased a problem by not trying to erase the problem, by saying, "This is in the nature of what we do." It's really weird that it could be that simple.

Working the Program

 * Working the Program A Conversation with Ward Cunningham, Part III (5 January 2004)

 * Traditionally, the cost of change curve said that if we detect the need for a change early, it costs less to make the change than if we detect the need late. I tackled that curve by saying, let's almost intentionally make mistakes so we can practice correcting them. That practice will help reduce the cost of making changes late. Our feeling was that the limiting factor on any change was not when it was done, but how much thinking was required.

 * You don't want to write a big comment that tells others how to make a change they might want to make, because you don't know what change they're going to want to make. Better to have the attitude that you can't help future programmers make their changes. All you can do is make it easy for them to understand what you were trying to do. And it will be easiest for them to understand what you were trying to do if you were very careful to not try to do too much.

 * Over and over, people try to design systems that make tomorrow's work easy. But when tomorrow comes it turns out they didn't quite understand tomorrow's work, and they actually made it harder.

 * I like the notion of working the program, like an artist works a lump of clay. An artist wants to make a sculpture, but before she makes the sculpture, she just massages the clay. She starts towards making the sculpture, and sees what the clay wants to do. And the more she handles the clay, the more the clay tends to do what she wants. It becomes compliant to her will. A development team works on a piece of code over several months. Initially, they make a piece of code, and it's a little stiff. It's small, but it's still stiff. Then they move the code, and it gets a little easier to move.

 * Often, the program ends up amazing. You'll say, "This is beautifully architected." Well, where did that architecture come from? In this case, architecture means the systematic way we deal with diverse requirements. Architecture allows us, when we go to do work we need to do on the program, to find where things go. It is a system that was worked into the program by all the little decisions we made — little decisions that were right, and little decisions that were wrong and corrected. In a sense we get the architecture without really trying. All the decisions in the context of the other decisions simply gel into an architecture.

To Plan or Not To Plan

 * "To Plan or Not To Plan : A Conversation with Ward Cunningham" Part IV (12 January 2004)

 * Honest to God, I think Kent Beck's contribution to all this has been taking stuff that he and I discovered quietly together, or picked up from other programmers, and taking it to the limit. Taking it to the limit. And the fact that it actually holds up — and a lot of it improves — when taking it to the limit is why it should naturally be called "Extreme." Kent's single biggest contribution is being daring enough to say, "This is all that matters, and we should do it all the time."

 * To worry about tomorrow is to detract from your work today. Time you spend thinking about tomorrow is time you're not spending thinking about what to do today. The place you leave in the code because you think you'll need it tomorrow, is actually a waste of time today — and a liability tomorrow. It does more harm than good.

 * Many people have experience with a program that's gotten out of control. They have an idea. They think they know what they want to do. But when they go to put the idea in, the idea is forgotten by the time they've figured out how to put it in.

 * I love computer graphics, but every system I've seen to try to turn programming into pictures has lost that syntactic element. There's something about syntax that makes it very precise for reading. I love photography. A photograph will tell a story. But words tell a story even better. Words are more versatile. You can paint a verbal picture that's much richer than you can photograph.

 * I could say, "Wait! Wait! I know what's going to happen down here!" Well you knew what was going to happen down here. How does it help us get our job done for me to tell you what's going to happen down here? You could say, "Stop! I want to draw on the white board what we're going to do tomorrow, because I can see it coming." Well maybe I can see it coming too, but why make a commitment? It will come soon enough. So, we're certainly here and now, but I think we can become excellent predictors. It's just that we're careful not to depend upon prediction anymore than we have to.

The Simplest Thing that Could Possibly Work

 * "The Simplest Thing that Could Possibly Work : A Conversation with Ward Cunningham" Part V (19 January 2004)

 * I actually enjoy complexity that's empowering. If it challenges me, the complexity is very pleasant. But sometimes I must deal with complexity that's disempowering. The effort I invest to understand that complexity is tedious work. It doesn't add anything to my abilities.

 * Computers are famous for difficulties. A difficulty is just a blockage from progress. You have to try a lot of things. When you finally find what works, it doesn't tell you a thing. It won't be the same tomorrow. Getting the computer to work is so often dealing with difficulties.

 * The complexity that we despise is the complexity that leads to difficulty. It isn't the complexity that raises problems. There is a lot of complexity in the world. The world is complex. That complexity is beautiful. I love trying to understand how things work. But that's because there's something to be learned from mastering that complexity.

 * What is simplicity? Simplicity is the shortest path to a solution.

 * If you write a lot of programs, and you're used to squeezing them all the time, you find that it's easy to write a program that's simple. A lot of it is having a clear sense of what you want to say — writing the proof by choosing what to prove, and being clear about that. In programming, a lot of simplicity comes from knowing what matters and what doesn't matter.

 * There is an art to knowing where things should be checked and making sure that the program fails fast if you make a mistake. That kind of choosing is part of the art of simplification.

 * So today, let's write a program simply. But let's also realize that tomorrow, we're going to make it more complex, because tomorrow it's going to do more. So we'll take that simplicity and we'll lose some of it. But tomorrow, hopefully tomorrow's program is as simple as possible for tomorrow's needs. Hopefully we'll preserve simplicity as the program grows.

 * Let's not worry about what somebody reading the code tomorrow is going to think. Let's not worry about whether it's efficient. Let's not even worry about whether it will work. Let's just write the simplest thing that could possibly work.

 * You are always taught to do as much as you can. Always put checks in. Always look for exceptions. Always handle the most general case. Always give the user the best advice. Always print a meaningful error message. Always this. Always that. You have so many things in the background that you're supposed to do, there's no room left to think. I say, forget all that and ask yourself, "What's the simplest thing that could possibly work?"  I think the advice got turned into a command: "Do the simplest thing that could possibly work." That's a little more confusing, because there isn't this notion that as soon as you've done it, we'll evaluate it.

 * There's been an awful lot of discussion about what is or isn't simple, and people have gotten a pretty sophisticated notion of simplicity, but I'm not sure it has helped.

Geek Noise (2004)

 * Talk at MS Research (November 2004) as quoted at Geek Noise

 * I don't claim to be a methodologist, but I act like one only because I do methodology to protect myself from crazy methodologists.

 * When a manager asks for hard data, that's usually just his way of saying no.

 * There is a programming smell here… which is kind of like the smell in your refrigerator, you know. There's a sign that there's something wrong, but you can't quite put your finger on it. But you know if you leave it there, its only going to get worse.

 * What I'm really doing is I'm trying to preserve the right for a programmer to think while he's typing. If you feel that it’s not going well, you can stop and say 'What did I get wrong? Let me correct it.

Crucible of Creativity (2005)

 * "Ward Cunningham on the Crucible of Creativity" : Corante (17 October 2005)

 * My hope is that wiki becomes a totem for a way of interacting with people. Tradition in the work world has been more top down, while wiki, standing for the Internet, is becoming a model for a new way of work. Largely driven by reduced communication costs, it changes what needs to be done and how it’s going to get done. I hope that the wiki nature, if not the wiki code, makes some contribution.

 * A wiki is a work sustained by a community.

 * The blogosphere is a community that might produce a work. Whereas a wiki is a work that might produce a community. It’s all just people communicating.

 * One’s words are a gift to the community. For the wiki nature to take whole, you have to let go of your words. You have to be okay with that. This goes into the name, called refactoring. To collaborate on a work, one must trust. The reason the cooperation happens is we are people and it is deep in our nature to do things together.

 * Cooperation has a transactional nature, we agree it is a mutual good. Collaboration is deeper, we don’t know what the transaction is, or if there is one, but if I give of myself to this collaboration, some good will come out of it. You have to trust somebody to collaborate.

 * With wiki, you have to trust people more than you have any reason to trust them. In 1995, it was a safer environment, don’t know if I could have launched wiki today.

 * Putting a new feature into a program is important, but refactoring so new features can be added in the future is equally important. The ability to do things in the future is something that I consider suppleness, like clay your hands that accepts your expression. Programs and documents get brittle very quickly. Wiki imagines a more dynamic environment where we accept change...

 * Anonymity relieves refactoring friction. Have learned that people want to sign things. But try to write in a way where you don’t have to know who said it. But when someone who is not in a giving mood uses anonymity (spammers), that abuse can drive us away from anonymity. But I hope we can drive the ill-intended out without having to give up the openness.

 * The web has been an experiment in anonymity. Conscious design of low level protocols. Lots of identity infrastructure has been created to make it an online shopping mall, which makes it unpleasant for all of us because the machinery isn’t that great.

 * People can and do trust works produced by people they don’t know. The real world is still trying to figure out how Wikipedia works. A fantastic resource. Open source is produced by people that you can’t track down, but you can trust it in very deep ways. People can trust works by people they don’t know in this low communication cost environment.

 * Top down hierarchies make communication work when it is expensive, I hope that wiki can be a flagship in this move in the industry to produce computer support for this kind of work and evolve organizational forms.

Podcast Interview with Ward Cunningham (2006)

 * Interview with Ward Cunningham at the EclipseCon in Santa Clara, California (23 March 2006) published as "Ward Cunningham discusses Eclipse, Wiki and Agile Development"

 * Wiki helped define the category of social software.

 * Global collaboration is something that Wiki mastered in a small way and here we can master it in a big way.
 * Speaking about Eclipse Foundation

 * People who understand their collective goals and values are pretty good at self-organizing -- as long as they are allowed to.

 * Accept that you've got a common goal that we're all working towards and that we're working towards the same goal. In other words, align and self-organize.

Foreword to Wikis for Dummies

 * Foreword to Wikis for Dummies (2007)

 * Before wikis, computer writing was all about the words. The computer could help you type them, spell them, hyphenate them, size them, shape them, and align them. But when it came to developing your thought, well, you were on your own.

 * Now, with wikis, you have a place to write. A wiki is a place to write in the same way that a party is a place to talk. There are thoughts all around you. Some are interesting, some less so. At a party or on a wiki, a word or two will be your trigger. Ideas start flowing. Talking or writing, you're among friends, the stage is set, you say your piece, it fits in, your words trigger the next thought: conversation.

 * A wiki is like a party that doesn't have to stop. It's a party that doesn't get crowded because new rooms appear when needed. It's a timeless party where you can try each conversation over and over until you get it right.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Computerdude33. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Computerdude33~enwikiquote that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:20, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Attribution of unsigned additions
Hi Eric, the attribution you made here, I think, is formally correct, but not needed. The moving of the section of unsourced quotes to the talk page was part of the series of 750 to 1000 other moves, see here. I think it is a good thing that these sections stay unsigned, just as sections in the main article remain unsigned. If people want to know the origin, they can look it up in the articles and/or tlak page history -- Mdd (talk) 11:34, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
 * All right. What happened was that I did a Google search for the quote about "The two most important days" and it gave me this talk page high in the list. So I came to the talk page, and I couldn't figure out what that big block of quotes was there for. So I looked at the History, and in the end decided to put the Unsigned2 template in. I see that the quote in question is now back on the main page, in a box called Disputed. I don't know what the policy is. I think it's good that sayings that are routinely misattributed to someone be put on the main page in a box, so I don't know why you moved them off of 750 to 1000 pages! Eric Kvaalen (talk) 16:39, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
 * The general policy (since a few years) is, that all quotes in the main space must have a source mentioned. If not they are moved to the talk page. -- Mdd (talk) 17:17, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
