I'm not an architect (well, technically my job title is "Architect", but I'm not that kind of architect). But I'd be curious to see a list like this for some other professions, just because it tickles my curiosity.
I'm tempted to create one for anesthesiologists (I'm a retired [38 years of practice] neurosurgical anesthesiologist — I certainly have the time! But I'm too lazy.
2. Where the bricks are kept
Most here are not trained architects. Well, I am a trained architect and also worked as architect for over a decade. That's what we learned at school. That what was considered important. And much more BTW. Architects are generalists. Many architects went on to work in engineering, civil engineering, social studies, informatics/computer science, physics, politics, literature, stage design, city planning, movies, ... Y…
80. The reasons for their tenacity.
Reflecting on this can be enlightening, and like many enlightening things, uncomfortable

OK, OK... how about 10? Can you live with 10? 'Cause I just made this for you: https://www.bookofjoe.com/2018/09/10-things-an-anesthesiolog...

Can you expand on this item, please? I interpret it as "don't just arrive and immediately begin taking action, but take a moment to fully assess the situation because an extra 15 seconds is a worthwhile cost to avoid a mistake". Curious to know if I'm on track.
Is there something in there about knowing optimal working conditions for knowledge workers? Because the modern office building as designed by current architects isn't it.

> The placement of keys in such s way that they had a low probability of jammin It's highly debatable, and arguably a myth. The QWERTY design predated any potential jamming problems. Perhaps it was so foreseeing? It's really hard to believe general ergonomy was the top priority, as all the characters of the word TYPEWRITER are placed in the top row, which could have hardly happened by sheer coincidence, but was very…

Argh, no. E and R are separated by D, 4, and C. It would be nice if someone writing about typewriters actually looked at one.
The bar-adjacent letter pairs, from most to least frequent¹, are MI BY CR NU HN XE HM AZ DC GB ZW VT FV SX.

#7 will make you laugh! Why in the hand? Also, when I was in hospital (diverticular disease) they put the first IV in my non-dominant arm (at elbow), then the second in my dominant arm .. the second one ended up staying in much longer. I wonder how often that happens; whether in some areas [ER?] it might be sufficiently often to warrant reversing the rule-of-thumb?
I was never asked about hand dominance so during surgery they actually put the IV in my dominant hand and hit a nerve. I couldn't use my dominant hand for a month.

Regulation is certainly part of the cost.
How much?
Is this meant to be art? Why should an architect know Shakespeare and QWERTY? Should a welder know about quarks and neutrinos?
