First Law of Software Quality

First Law of Software Quality errors = (more code)² e = mc²

A projected presentation slide humorously introduces the “First Law of Software Quality,” claiming that errors increase with the square of the amount of code, parodying Einstein’s equation E = mc². It is a joke about software complexity and the inevitability of bugs in large codebases, suitable as a reaction to overengineering or error-prone programming.
