Following the links you get to something called Perlisisms which are tiny poems from Alan Perlis. Here are 120 of them:

8. A programming language is low level when its programs require attention to the irrelevant.
95. Don't have good ideas if you aren't willing to be responsible for them.

110. Editing is a rewording activity.

There are a couple of good quotes in this blog post. Like

To the various re-posts of today, I'll add a classic Perlisism:
“117. It goes against the grain of modern education to teach children to program. What fun is there in making plans, acquiring discipline in organizing thoughts, devoting attention to detail and learning to be self-critical?”

Nobody gives a shit anymore about anything.
It’s fine to post absolute tripe like this on a corporate website.
It’s fine to post quotes that were never said in a newspaper.
It’s fine to reference science that doesn’t exist in scientific papers.
It’s fine to commit code that was never checked to software.
It’s fine to post music that no one made.
It’s fine to share videos of things that never happened.
It’s fine to steal, lie and scam people.
All of this is hyped and cheered on by governments, organizations, businesses and individuals.
What in the fucking fuck is wrong with everybody?
> for a large share of actual product work, the person who can say "here is what done looks like, prove it without seeing my rubric" is more valuable than the person who can write the code.
> Implementation is what AI is getting good at. Knowing whether the result actually solves the real problem is not an engineering judgment call, it is a domain judgment call.

Jack Smith says Trump's claims that he won the election were not protected free speech because they were intended to target a government function.
"There is no historical analog for what President Trump did in this case."
Smith says Trump "without question" added to the danger to Mike Pence's life with his 2:24pm tweet while the Capitol was under attack.
