The computer scientists among you will know Edsger W. Dijkstra, a Dutch Turing Award winner. I enjoyed this 25 min TV episode from 2000 about and with Dijkstra (it is in Dutch with English subtitles). He is telling some interesting stories and advocates simplicity and discipline as a design principle.
One of his most famous quotes is the classic “Go To Statement Considered Harmful” (although the title was actually not conceived by him). But my favorite quote still remains this one:
Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes.
This is so true.
