In Pursuit of Production Minimalism
Do more and more with less and less until eventually you can do everything with nothing.
No Matter What You Work For Yourself
The only person you really work for is you.
I don’t distinguish between work and non-work because there is only one life.
Too Clever By Half
It’s always the meta-game that gets you.
They figure out a brilliant way to win at the mini-game that they’re immersed in, and they ignore the meta-game. Eventually the meta-game blows up on them, and they’re toast.
Code Complexity is a Design Problem
Think of code complexity as the opposite of a force multiplier. It’s a force diminisher. It imposes a tax on everything you might want to do with your product in the future.
Ideas are cheap and disposable; code is expensive and persistent.
If two ideas are equally impactful to the user, but engineering expresses real concerns about one, you should be able to it kill on the basis of being high-cost, even if engineering just has a gut feeling.
