team

Hollywood Principle

Write code to respond to external events, such as from an existing framework

Understand a problem individually, then share it.

Capture your understandings separately to the team and then come together to align

When you know you aren’t aligned, resolve early.

Act on unalignment rapidly to ensure happy teams

Be constructive, not destructive.

Code should work, but does not have to be efficient.

Go wide, then refine

When creating something, it is better to understand the picture - at a high level - instead of focusing on the thing you need to create immediately.

Treat things like cattle, not pets

Build your infrastructure as something disposable that can be destroyed if it fails (cattle) rather than something precious that has to be looked after (pets)

Figure out the problem, before the technology

Understand the problem first, then choose the appropriate technology to solve it.

Many minds, better problem-solving

The greater the number of people who can work on a problem, the higher the probability of an optimal solution.
