Great Quote On Learning
We Learn…
10%…of What We Read
20%…of What We Hear
30%…of What We See
50%…of What We See and Hear
70%…of What We Discuss With Others
80%…of What We Experience Personally
95%…of What We Teach Others
–William Glasser
And that’s why I blog!
99.9% of What We Program
-implied by Gerald Jay Sussman, he didn’t say it, but he’s thinking it.
And program!

:) Interesting that you post that link, I was there. I was blown away by him. Sussman’s a god; Every engineer in the room was busy picking their jaws up from the floor and every programmer was grinning from ear to ear and nodding silently. It was great. Post Amended!
Hey — I don’t think Sussman said that explicitly “99.9% of What We Program”
that was me paraphrasing Sussman (and i wasn’t there at the talk) — that 99.9% was pulled out of thin air!!
Actually I remembered some big shot talking about programming in that way and i couldn’t remember who it was;
something like “you really learn when you program…”
Maybe it was Knuth — see comments in his programs below –

Hmm, that depends on the tests.
