A quotation from Shakespeare

ARIEL: All hail, great master! Grave sir, hail! I come
   To answer thy best pleasure. Be ’t to fly,
   To swim, to dive into the fire, to ride
   On the curled clouds, to thy strong bidding task
   Ariel and all his quality.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
Tempest, Act 1, sc. 2, l. 224ff (1.2.224-228) (1611)

“Beginning #programmers are often so eager to accomplish the first part of that definition—writing a #program to perform a certain #task—that they fail on the second part of the definition, meeting the stated #constraints.

I call a program like that, one that appears to produce correct results but breaks one or more of the stated rules, a #KobayashiMaru.”🖖🏻#VAntonSpraul
