<i>The central tension in the software process comes from the fact that we must go from an informally identified need that exists in-the-world to a formal model that operates in-the-computer.</i> - Bruce Blum, &#x27;Beyond Programming&#x27; (1996)<p><i>There are two models of reality that I find to be the most useful ones, especially when writing programs.

Perhaps you should have done the same.</i> - @ML_Hipster<p>... from <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;globalcitizen&#x2F;taoup" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;globalcitizen&#x2F;taoup</a>
