Computer programming is no joke : that's how it seems to the uninitiated,

Insiders have a less reverent attitute,

They say that the First Law of computer programming

is as follows : Any given program when running is obsolete.

Second law : any given program costs more & takes longer eachtime it is run.

Third : If aprogram is useful,it will have to be changed.

Fourth : If a program is useless, it will have to be documented.

Fifth : Any given program will expand to fill all the available memory.

Sixth : The value of a program is inversely proportional to the weight of it output.

Seventh : Program complexity grows until it exceeds the capability of the programmer who must maintain it.
