…principles for dealing with algorithmic problems are based a lot more directly on 5,000 or10,000 years’ worth of history in mathematics. How we go about programming now, we don’t have anything like that foundation to build on. Which is one of the reasons why so much software is crap: we don’t really know what we’re doing yet.
