8. “When you want to know how things really work, study them when they’re coming apart.” 9. “I’ve never seen a job being done by a five-hundred-person engineering team that couldn’t be done better by fifty people.” 10. “A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.” 11. “Strive for perfection in everything you do. Take the best that exists and make it better. When it does not exist, design it.” 12. “Normal people believe that if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Engineers believe that if it ain’t broke, it doesn’t have enough features yet.” - Scott Adams
