@zachleat As soon as one gets to lists like these, they lose me. I mean, really? These kinds of statements are always banality masquerading as profundity:

@prietschka I get your point, it's basically a rewording of the Unix philosophy, but ... then why do people ignore these banalities so often? I'm thinking about xkcd's 927 and 2347, for instance. There seems to be a certain necessity to repeat these statements over and over, because most people tend to specifically not follow them. @zachleat

@prietschka @zachleat To be fair, they weren’t presented as profound. It’s a quick five sentence summary of a personal philosophy. That’s always gonna come off sort of platitude-y imo.
