1. Software is not magic.
2. Software is never “done.”
3. Software is a team effort; nobody can do it all.
4. Design isn’t how something looks; it is how it works.
5. Security is everyone’s responsibility.
6. Feature size doesn’t predict developer time.
7. Greatness comes from thousands of small improvements.
8. Technical debt is bad but unavoidable.
9. Software doesn’t run itself.
10. Complex systems need DevOps to run well.
