Anyone know this book?  This quote really struck a chord with me:

"Let us change our traditional attitude to the construction of  
programs: Instead of imagining that our main task is to instruct a  
computer what to do, let us concentrate rather on explaining to human  
beings what we want a computer to do."

Donald Knuth. "Literate Programming (1984)" in Literate Programming.  
CSLI, 1992, pg. 99
