Programming is the easy part, and a useless skill on its own.
If you can only program in one language, you can't program.
C++ is the single best language to learn programming.
Stupid mistakes you make are not bugs, at least not for you.

If you're not a programming superstar you can probably make more money writing nothing but Terraform code for hapless enterprises.

Good programmers need to be creative, flexible (soft skills with others), critical thinkers, and problem solvers. Lacking those kinds of features makes for a rigid and terrible programmer that is near impossible to work with or code behind. Leave the ego at the door.
If your function is longer than 10 statements, parts can almost always be extracted into smaller parts. If named correctly, this improves readability significantly
HELL NO! If you split that function into three, but these always have to be called in succession, you win nothing but make your code WAY harder to read/follow.

I find that S-expressions are the best syntax for programming languages. And in general infix operators are inferior to either prefix or postfix notation.

Modern PHP is great and people judging it by PHP 5 (version that's almost 20 years old) are idiots.
