“Walking on water and developing software from a specification are easy if both are frozen.”
― Edward V. Berard

Robert C. Martin
“Remember that code is really the language in which we ultimately express the requirements. We may create languages that are closer to the requirements. We may create tools that help us parse and assemble those requirements into formal structures. But we will never eliminate necessary precision—so there will always be code.”
― Robert C. Martin
