This month I want to highlight an article, 15 Fundamental Laws of Software Development, by Matthew Jones. Matthew briefly explains 15 different human behavioral tendencies turned into named laws, such as Occam’s Razor, the Dunning-Kruger Effect, and Hofstadter’s Law. Most of these laws are amusing because they scratch at the core behavioral tendencies present in all of us. I like to use this article as a reminder to challenge my own biases, behaviors, and deficiencies. I recommend everyone read this article; with intention and mechanisms, we elevate ourselves past these tendencies.
