Just read a few of these EWDs. Some of my favorite quotes I read came from the end of these reports.
> The question of whether a machine can think is the same as the question of whether a submarine can swim.
> In this respect the programmer does not differ from any other craftsman: unless he loves his tools it is highly improbable that he will ever create something of superior quality.
The article is very well written and is full of insights into Dijkstra's thought process.

Looking forward to reading more EWDs.
