Comment on Knuth: Computer Programming as an Art (1974)

Comments

Love this part, "In fact, when I first picked up a dictionary in order to study the words "art" and "science," I happened to glance at the editor's preface, which began by saying, "The making of a dictionary is both a science and an art.""

Also

  "The science without the art is likely to be ineffective; 
  the art without the science is certain to be inaccurate."
