Schofield's Three Laws of Computing
Schofield's Three Laws of Computing state:


 * 1) You should never put data into a program unless you can see exactly how to get it out.
 * 2) Data doesn't really exist unless you have at least two copies of it.
 * 3) The easier it is for you to access your data, the easier it is for someone else to access your data.

Habits
Ideas from the book Atomic Habits:

Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3
 * Habits are the compound interest of self-improvement.
 * Create systems, don't set goals. If you want better results, then forget about setting goals. Focus on the systems you've created instead.
 * You do not rise to the level of your goals; you fall to the level of your systems.
 * Start doing (becoming) and eventually you will become.
 * The formation of all habits is a feedback loop. The focus should be not on what you what to obtain, but what you want to become.
 * A habit is a behavior that has been repeated enough times to become automatic.
