🔗 The 13 software engineering laws

Some of those are famous, and some are quite niche. ALL of them are super useful to engineers and managers.

Curious to know how many were new to you:

1. Parkinson’s law
2. Hofstadter’s law
3. Brooks’ law
4. Conway’s law (and the Inverse Conway's law)
5. Cunningham’s law
6. Sturgeon’s law
7. Zawinski’s law
8. Hyrum’s law
9. Price’s law
10. The Ringelmann effect
11. Goodhart’s law
12. Gilb’s law
13. Murphy’s law

For each, I’ll share:

• The law
• A relevant comic (if I found one)
• Why does it matter to engineering managers
