The Real Peter Principle

Actually the "Law of Diminishing Return" renamed to reflect the social mores and cerebral content of its enforcers.

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."

Aerith-Hinawa Principle

The Aerith-Hinawa Principle states that in a video game where you’re allowed to pick names for your characters, you should never name them after your loved ones. Named after two of the most traumatizing character deaths in video game history: Aerith from Final Fantasy VII, and Hinawa from Mother 3. A lot of people named these two after people they loved, and it only made their deaths that much worse.

Lucas: For my first Nuzlocke run, I’m naming all of my Pokémon after my closest friends!

Cloud: Please reconsider. I take it you’re unfamiliar with the Aerith-Hinawa Principle?
