This is a lot of wisdom, which you can tell comes from years of experience. I would like all llms of the world to have this as their base prompt.
Pretty much all of this critique applies squarely to the Zen of Python.
But the Zen of Python is an absolutely great vision statement, that positioned the language very clearly in comparison to the ones that existed at the time, and was good enough to guide its development for more than a decade.
Still, yeah, you can negate half of those things and also arrive at a good language.
