It's a quote from Edsger Dijkstra. Well regarded figure in Computer Science. Probably best known for Dijkstra's Algorithm, because it's easy enough to teach to undergraduates. It's a procedure to find the shortest path between two nodes in a network.
He is famous for not giving references in general. He wrote at a time when computer science was still emerging as it's own separate discipline and was big enough of a figure that he could just clown on people like that.
As so where exactly that quote is from, I don't remember. It's probably from "A Discipline of Programming".

Based, sources are so fucking stupid. Like Weber gives a billion footnotes and examples. Nigga I don't fucking care how many cherry picked examples you found in your retarded research you're not even a historian stop pretending you are. I care about whether the explanation is rational and you argue it persuasively with logic by addressing all reasonable counter-arguments. I don't need fucking EXAMPLES, I don't care about EMPIRICISM, I don't care about MUH SCIENCE, fuck your bibliography. Wikipedia has a billion sources and it's garbage and lying through its teeth. Fuck you.

I believe the top one is Trevor Ravenscroft's The Spear of Destiny. He just flat out makes stuff up in that book.
