Eight Principles#
- Cost-effectiveness: Choose the cheapest option without sacrificing experience. It is acceptable to spend time to save money as long as the money saved is higher than the hourly wage according to the market price.
- Redundancy: One, when estimating time, multiply the maximum time by 2 to get the final time (Hou Shida's law). Two, make backups of important data, with at least two copies stored on different media.
- Standardization/Process automation/Intelligence (IT Fourization): Standardization is the premise of process automation. Process automation facilitates outsourcing and is the only habit of successful people. Process automation also facilitates intelligence, which means solving problems with machines. The virtue of programmers is to automate rather than do things manually. It's embarrassing for a programmer to manually perform a low-level repetitive behavior, isn't it?
- First principles: There are only a few necessary conditions to achieve a goal. Focus on them and avoid unnecessary assumptions. Don't be bound by the views/practices of the masses.
- Hot-swappable: Ensure that you are an independent and complete system, cooperating with others but not relying on them. Prioritize honing your bargaining skills rather than cooperation skills to increase your options. Ensure that you can terminate the cooperation relationship at any time and prevent being restricted by anyone. When encountering problems, consider terminating the cooperation and finding someone else instead of improving the cooperation relationship.
- Focus, iteration, and excellence: Focus on one thing at a time, allow for imperfections, and continuously improve through multiple iterations, striving for excellence.
- Big data: (1) Big data not only refers to numbers and tables, but also includes information, experience, tutorials, and methodologies, which are unstructured data. (2) Collect data to explore every possibility, counter uncertainty, avoid cognitive biases, and benefit from the experiences of others without the need for personal practice. (3) Pay attention to collecting data that you may not need temporarily but that everyone needs, and transform your storage facilities to accommodate more data.
- Cross-border: Digitally transform everything. The mission of programmers is to eliminate other industries before eliminating themselves.
