History of McDonald Packaging

Fun No Comments »

I have this one in my Google Reader’s bookmark for a while; but haven’t had a chance to post it in my blog yet.

It is from BusinessWeek web site, showing the history of McDonald packaging over the past 32 years. It’s pretty interesting, isn’t it?

Before continue reading…. this is just a random posting from a programmer. If you are non-programmer, you might not understand this posting at all. :)

Recently, I read about The Tao of Programming and found some interesting ’doctrine’ or ‘principles’ for programmers. I just want to share some of them here. For complete list of Tao of Programming, you can either read Geoffrey James’ book or visit the online version.

After three days without programming, life becomes meaningless.

Let the programmers be many and the managers few — then all will be productive.

You can demonstrate a program for a corporate executive, but you can’t make him computer literate.

Without the wind, the grass does not move. Without software, hardware is useless.
