#3I'd love to see a similar list for software engineering.
- if your code isn't important enough to be tested, it's not important to be written
- every function must fit a single screen

I thought about it so much I know think the circular process is an inevitable consequence of reality. Still, the business ones are usually pretty vacuuous.

#7““Designers should have a seat at the table”
When you are not able to prove your strategic value to the company based on your everyday actions and behaviors, and you have to beg to be invited to important meetings.“
