"You can measure a programmer's perspective by noting his
attitude on the continuing vitality of FORTRAN."
- Alan Perlis
began work on my Masters degree in Applied Statistics in
1989. The majority of my past work as a statistician has
involved use of SAS. I still deem myself proficient in SAS,
although I wouldn't place myself among the top SAS
programmers in the field.
I believe my approach to programming has always been
illustrated by the following quote:
- The competent programmer is fully aware of the limited
size of his own skull. He therefore approaches his task
with full humility, and avoids clever tricks like the plague.
- Edsgar Dijkstra
