Hacker laws that apply in real life

Here are a few of my favorites from this GitHub repository of Dwmkerr’s Hacker Laws and Principles:

  • Hofstadter’s Law: It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter’s Law.

  • Amara’s Law: We tend to overestimate the effect of a technology in the short run and underestimate in the long run

  • Putt’s Law: Technology is dominated by two types of people, those who understand what they do not manage and those who manage what they do not understand.
