The phrase "Rome wasn't built in a day" is an established idiom in English, so I think altering the text doesn't make sense. Unfortunately, we have no photographs of the construction of Rome, so we settled for some other large-scale project. That the text and image don't exactly align is unideal but also not terribly critical, in my opinion, but I do appreciate the thought! |

In the "Introduction to Compilers" section there is a line:
However, the photo attached is a cool photo of the Eiffel Tower under construction.
I changed the reference to "Rome" to the Eiffel Tower to better make the point and remove this inconsistency.
