Most foundational was Claude Shannon's Theory of Communications: https://people.math.harvard.edu/~ctm/home/text/others/shannon/entropy/entropy.pdf As a programmer specifically the Hoare paper on CSP: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/359576.359585

Not papers, but also: Djikstras algorithms books, the Anderson security engineering book, and John Carmack are also essential. There was a kotaku article about the doom3 source thats enlightening as to why: https://kotaku.com/the-exceptional-beauty-of-doom-3s-source-code-5975610
