Laws of COMPUTER PROGRAMMING
- Any given program, when running, is obsolete.
- Any given program costs more and takes longer.
- If a program is useful, it will have to be changed.
- If a program is useless, it will have to be documented.
- Any given program will expand to fill all available memory.
- The value of a program is proportional to the weight of its
output.
- Program complexity grows until it exceeds the capability of the
programmer who must maintain it.

Knowledge Discovery
The Dual Hypotheses of Knowledge Discovery are:
- We can only discover knowledge in an environment that contains
knowledge.
- The only way to assert the validity of any knowledge is to
compare it to another source of knowledge.
Philip G. Armour in Communications of the ACM, January 2005
Complexity of Software
The complexity of software is an essential property, not an accidental
one.
Hence, descriptions of a software entity that abstract away its
complexity
often abstract away its essence.
Fred Brooks
