"Metamagical Themas" is a great book. and a cool anagram.

have you seen https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prograph - it was around in the 80s - i bought a copy and played around with it. you write no lines of code - just draw graphs. it was ahead of its time i think. the "low code" movement seems to be a recent rediscovery of the idea https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-code_development_platform

I don't know about a motto, but the first thing that sparked my neuron was that NN would somehow involve NNML. Not Natural Ned Markup Language or Machine Learning.

My very first boss thought that every program should have only 2 lines:

setBugs("off");

nowDoWhatImThinking()

While that was a great idea, my years of experience have taught me that even with line 2, my code still won't work!
