I knew this quote more like " It's Better to ask forgiveness than to get permission."
Today I read this at a python book on data structures.
> A second philosophy, often embraced by Python programmers, is that “it is easier to ask for forgiveness than it is to get permission.” This quote is attributed to Grace Hopper, an early pioneer in computer science. The sentiment is that we need not spend extra execution time safeguarding against every possible exceptional case, as long as there is a mechanism for coping with a problem after it arises. In Python, this philosophy is implemented using a try-except control structure.their Italian red pickups).
and then I just duckgo(?) the quote.
