The Osinski principle

Osinski Principle noun
1. You are not finished your project; done is your relationship to the project. It is just a new release.
2. A concept asserting that the completion of a project is not a final endpoint, but rather a transition to a new phase; the project remains an ongoing endeavor with continuous improvements and updates.

Example in context: "According to the Osinski Principle, releasing a version of the app doesn’t mean the work is done; it’s simply the beginning of the next iteration."

The Dave Principle

Society has to move at the speed of the slowest person, ie it only takes one idiot to ruin something good for everyone else.

The Dave Principle states that 1 person ruins it for everyone. "We used to be able to drive as fast as we wanted, and then Dave had to drive faster than he could handle and killed a bunch of people. Now we have speed limits. THANKS DAVE!" -
