A good decision can still have unintended consequences. 49 - [Most of the time there is no particular individual or approximation of an individual who's in charge](https://jscaseddon.co/2024/02/science-for-steering-vs-for-decision-making/).

··· 35 - You should be able to "punch through" your abstraction layer and get to the code behind it in cases you need that. 36 - Sometimes you have to stop sharpening the saw, and just start cutting. 37 - Software which is broken because there is no incentive to ship good software is going to stay broken until the incentives change. 38 - **Choose portability over efficiency**. 39 - If today's hardware just about runs a program with just about adequate efficiency, tomorrow's will run it with power to spare. 40 - The developer task is to make sure his program will run on that new hardware with minimal effort.
