19 Eponymous Laws Of Software Development

I earn about it at DotNetRocks and had to post about it. It came from haacked. Here are my favorites:

Parkinson’s Law

Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion.

Pareto Principle

For many phenomena, 80% of consequences stem from 20% of the causes.

Sturgeon’s Revelation

Ninety percent of everything is crud.

Hofstadter’s Law

A task always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter’s Law.

Brook’s Law

Adding manpower to a late software project makes it later.



and last but not least:


Wirth’s law

Software gets slower faster than hardware gets faster.
