Hacker principles

My growing list of problem solving and rule bending nature of hacking. Inspired by @jadi hacker rules. This list will grow as i test and refine these principals.

• Gall’s Law: “A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.”
• Shirky Principle: “Institutions will try to preserve the problem to which they are the solution.”
• Pareto Principle: “Roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes.”
• Murphy’s Law: “Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.”
• Linus’s Law: “Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow.”
• Parkinson’s Law: “Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion.”
• Amdahl’s Law: “The speedup of a program from parallelization is limited by the time needed for the sequential fraction of the program.”
• Postel’s Law: “Be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from others.”
