(Perl philosophy) to do it right! this is also a corollary of what the physicists do If it needs doing, a physicist will not wait for someone else to do it counterpoint - many more ways to do it wrong apply to everything - tools, technologies, techniques, methodologies, even solutions to problems tenets (2) even simple rules lead to complex behaviour (Wolfram, New Science, 2002) consolidation of collective experience hence, constant questioning: how do you and others do Web development? when it comes to the Web, how do you know you’re doing it right? can it be ‘improved’?
