I liked this post by Roel Nieskens, about

ten lines of code that, one way or another, mean something to me. Either because I wrote them, or I extensively copied them, or they made me laugh. Or cry.

It’s perhaps a different take on cursed knowledge, and made me wonder what those would be for me, or for other people with different specializations. (We previously talked about Duff’s device, which had a certain impact on me – even though I never used it myself.)
