Programming is Hard, Let's Go Scripting... by Larry Wall. Brilliant read. People need to take a more holistic approach to their programming. One of the comments to this article summed it up nicely - this should be required reading for anyone aspiring to call themselves a programmer.

But then I'm perl biased (probably because I know it well unlike most of its detractors? :D).
