npub19lhhe0lp4uj3kxmu6sey2fu6dnvdkqdkqsr2sqaeujsxnq729wgsvu3d6f (npub19lh…3d6f) Most of “The Mythical Man Month”, “Worse is better” and the Unix philosophy. Optimize for readability & human debugging (don’t be clever), use boring tech.
Many of those are common/obvious. Perhaps less so:
Keep your commit history and tracking systems. E.g., #NetBSD’s CVS, mailing list index, and gnats go back to 1993 (which let me fix a bug the other day that I had filed myself 20 years ago). People come and go, so don’t assume context.
