In the last 44 years of being a computer person, I have learned a few things. Here are some of them:
1. In computing, some things are said to be transparent, meaning you can't see them. I would add "and you don't need to see them." If you need to see them, but can't, how transparent are they?
2. Every program long enough to be useful has at least one undiscovered bug.
3. There is no difference between software and programs. Everyone who says "software programs" should be tarred and feathered.
4. Exception to rule #3: There is one difference between software and programs. Software is a set of programs that someone was paid to write.
I hope to add to this list.
