- 20. Apple Focuses on simplicity and trouble-free functionality
- 21. Steve Jobs (Apple Worldwide Developers' Conference, 1997) People think focus means saying yes to the thing you've got to focus on. But that's not what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully. I'm actually as proud of the things we haven't done as the things I have done. Innovation is saying no to 1,000 things. “ “

- 23. Leadership
- 24. Niklaus Wirth A primary cause of complexity is that software vendors uncritically adopt almost any feature that users want.“ “
- 25. It’s important to have a leadership that unbiasedly listens to user criticism, but still makes the decisions for the future of the project.

- 36. Extensibility
- 37. Niklaus Wirth Our ultimate goal is extensible programming (EP). By this, we mean the construction of hierarchies of modules, each module adding new functionality to the system. “ “
- 38. Approaches for Extensibility in Code • SOLID principles (link) • Principle of least privilege (for security)(link) • Finely defined support windows • API versions, Semantic versioning • Plugin-based architecture • Hierarchy of leadership
