If it interests me, it should interest you.

Anything I like and want to remember.

Anything you unknowingly wanted to know for a long time.

Note: If you think you know something that could interest me, feel free to submit, though I reserve the right to remove it if I'm not interested. No hard feelings.

Kind of important info at the bottom:

From ACM’s SIGPLAN publication, (September, 1982), Article “Epigrams in Programming”, by Alan J. Perlis of Yale University.

It's certainly fun how many of these remain applicable today, but yeah, many others were talking about weirdly old programming languages, and a few of these were just kind of strange.
