Q35: 為何有些軟體工程師與電腦科學家能夠產生清楚而且優美的設計與程式，但其他人卻不能？關鍵在於抽象觀念。Jeff Kramer

Why is it that some software engineers and computer scientists are able to produce clear, elegant desings and programs, while others cannot? Critical to these questions is the notion of abstraction. Jeff Kramer (CACM 50(4), 2007, pp.36-42).

Q22: 軟體工程教育的一個基本問題是，在他們相信一個新的方法行得通以前，他們不會採用它。而更重要的是，在他們親身驗證這些方法以前，他們不會相信這些方法--W.S. Humphrey

One principle problem of educating software engineers is that they will not use a new method until they believe it works and, more importantly, that they will not believe the method will work until they see it for themselves. - W.S. Humphrey, "The Personal Software Process".
