But if you can't apply it directly now, I hope that these principles are a useful thought exercise that you are free to comment on below or challenge directly too.

One thing I will note here is that of course - each "principle" has a time and place. Nuance is necessary, as always. These are conclusions that I find myself erring towards in general because oftentimes, the opposite that is the default that I see when I'm reviewing code or reading design docs.
