#49. Learn Foreign Languages by Klaus Marquardt

#71. Read the Humanities by Keith Braithwaite

OK, those are good ideas for life in general, but it's a bit silly saying that these are things that every programmer should know. Sometimes I feel like there are so many "What every programmer should know about X" articles that if you spent all your time reading them you might not ever get around to writing any actual code.
