7. Software developers talk a lot about tools, but seldom use them.
30. COBOL is a very bad language, but all the others are so much worse.
Number 7 just doesn't match my experience. But I am an N of 1. I don't know what to make of 30 at all.
And this one made me think the book was rather old (which doesn't mean out of date necessarily):
53. High-order language code can be about 90 percent as efficient as comparable assembler code.
I just wonder what he means by higher-order? In this context, probably C.
