> Galls Law: A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work. You have to start over with a working simple system.
> John Gall (September 18, 1925 – December 15, 2014) was an American author and retired pediatrician. Gall is known for his 1975 book General systemantics: an essay on how systems work, and especially how they fail..., a critique of systems theory. [from wikipedia]
I like this although I was hoping Gall was an engineer. Regardless it seems like a super compelling concept. Although after having typed that I'm wondering if living organisms / intelligent life are kind of the ultimate example against this? Or maybe they're the ultimate example supporting it?
The bigger point is that this repo is awesome and Im forwarding it to my software students. Hope it continues to grow with PRs!
