Some of these are actual science, such as Fitt’s law. Some are humorous simplifications that point to observed phenomena that are good to know. And then there’s bullshit like “Dilbert’s law”: information-free inside jokes technical people come up with to disparage other disciplines.
I'm surprised the Gervais principle[0] isn't there, as it supercedes the Peter Principle and Dilbert's law as far as I'm concerned:
All organizations are perfectly pathological, their hierarchy being divided up between sociopaths (management), clueless (middle-management) and losers (everyone else). Sociopaths, in their own best interests, knowingly promote over-performing losers into middle-management, groom under-performing losers into sociopaths, and leave the average bare-minimum-effort losers to fend for themselves.
