Make each program do one thing well. To do a new job, build afresh rather than complicate old programs by adding new “features”. > 2.

Don’t insist on interactive input. > 3. Design and build software, even operating systems, to be tried early, ideally within weeks. Don’t hesitate to throw away the clumsy parts and rebuild them. > 4. Use tools in preference to unskilled help to lighten a programming task, even if you have to detour to build the tools and expect to throw some of them out after you’ve finished using them. https://www.intentapp.com/blog/weight-loss-cost/ > 5% body weight might not seem like much, but we know that it’s a physiologically significant change that can reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes by almost 50%, and can improve cardiovascular markers like blood pressure and cholesterol as well.
