Three Rules of Solving Problems

There are a couple of “standard spiels” I have been giving my teams for decades at this point. 1. If you want to get somewhere, first figure out where you want to go, then figure out how to get there 2. The systems you build are means towards ends; every one of them is temporary and will one day be the obstructive garbage that you are fighting against. Do not fall in love with your systems; fall in love with the problems you are solving. 3. Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
