Programmers are Playwrights

Your computer and programming related quotes:

All programmers are playwrights and all computers are lousy actors. - Unknown

I would further add that all computer users are sitting in the audience. I do wonder if IT Computer Support types are directors or critics? I would imagine there are some of both. The directors are fighting against the parakeets to get the actors to do what they want, and have some success. The critics on the other hand just complain and point out nuances, hoping their "feedback" will result in a change for the better. Thinking about computers this way makes me glad I am a programmer - even though the computers are lousy actors, it is nice to have some input into what happens.
