> A language that doesn't affect the way you think about programming, is not worth knowing.

This one stood out to me. I'd say it's a favorite.

These others are interesting in the age of LLMs:

> 93. When someone says "I want a programming language in which I need only say what I wish done," give him a lollipop.

> 114. Within a computer natural language is unnatural.

> 115. Most people find the concept of programming obvious, but the doing impossible.

> 113. The only constructive theory connecting neuroscience and psychology will arise from the study of software.
