Hacker Laws
These types of lists are nice and I appreciate the time and effort put into making them. I do wonder how much utility they provide though? I personally find it a bit overwhelming. Like is idea that I sit down and memorize all this stuff?<p>In the past when lists like this come up I read a bit, then bookmark for later. Later never comes and now I just have this bookmark lying around amongst the thousands of others I have made over the years.<p>Maybe a more useful way to present this stuff is figure out a better way to give you the law relevant to the context in which you are in? For the sake of argument I could see something like this being useful:<p>INPUT<p>I am a `_developer_` working at a `_start up_` who `_needs to give_` `_an estimate_`<p>OUTPUT<p>- see Hofstadter's Law<p>Probably a non trivial task and I'm sure there's a law in that list that describes this phenomenon!
