We have seen that computer programming is an art, because it applies accumulated knowledge to the world, because it requires skill and ingenuity, and especially because it produces objects of beauty. Programmers who subconsciously view themselves as artists will enjoy what they do and will do it better.

Donald Knuth, in "Computer Programming as an Art" (1974) in Literate Programming (1992)

Life Can Only Be Understood Backwards, But It Must Be Lived Forwards

https://philosophybreak.com/articles/kierkegaard-life-can-only-be-understood-backwards-but-must-be-lived-forwards/

This statement is actually a shortened version of one of Kierkegaard’s journal entries.

Kierkegaard’s fuller journal passage:
❝It is really true what philosophy tells us, that life must be understood backwards. But with this, one forgets the second proposition, that it must be lived forwards. A proposition which, the more it is subjected to careful thought, the more it ends up concluding precisely that life at any given moment cannot really ever be fully understood; exactly because there is no single moment where time stops completely in order for me to take position [to do this]: going backwards.❞

(...) But if we accept that we will always have incomplete information, then perhaps we might also see the futility of trying to plan and control everything that happens.

For the one
who has conquered
the self by the self,
the self is a friend.
For the one who has not,
the self would be
in rivalry,
like an enemy.
