Just like Niklaus Wirth's quote about how people used to call him, or the joke about there being 10 kinds of people.
Those are the ones that make me wish people knew just enough Computer Science to get them :)

Which is a reference to the "two hard problems" jokes, the most used is "There are two hard problems in Computer Science: Cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors"
But there is also "Two hard problems in distributed systems: Exactly-once delivery, guaranteed order of messages, and exactly-once delivery".
It's just as funny today as when I first heard it in 2002/2003... to which my professor at the time would add:
"But really, naming things is colouring. And cache invalidation is colouring. So really there's only one problem in computer science, colouring and counting... which doesn't sound so hard after all".
You may get it.
Are you sure you got it? ;)
