"Laws"
- (weak) Linguistic relativity, aka Sapir–Whorf hypothesis – "Linguistic categories and usage influence thought and decisions."
- Conway's law – "Any organization that designs a system (defined broadly) will produce a design whose structure is a copy of the organization's communication structure." — Melvin E. Conway
- "Drexlers law" – "What we can do depends on what we can make."
- Goodhart's law – Generalization by Marilyn Strathern: "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure."
Principles
- Form follows function – When the shape of an object primarily relates to its intended function or purpose.
This is usually the result when designing at the limit of what's possible under tight constraints.
When the limits imposed by physical law leads to the emergent discovery of the shape of a technical artifact.
- Design for manufacturability (DFM) – The general engineering practice of designing products in such a way that they are easy to manufacture.
Musk's 5 step design process:
- (1/5) Sanity check specifications / requirements. Do they even make sense?
- (2/5) Delete / add-in part of the process. – "The best part is no part."
- (3/5) simplify / optimize
- (4/5) accelerate cycle-time
- (5/5) automate
Avoid doing the whole sequence in reverse.
