This index is where I'm saying things where I have something to say about them, apropos of (more or less) nothing. Synthesizing full-length articles is hard, and most of the time I feel like it'd just be diluting the impact of the kernel of the matter.
This was originally supposed to be a set of guidelines surrounding the drafting of technical specifications, but as it sprawls in scope, it can also be interpreted as a set of guidelines around any sort of design, and, in a broader interpretation, as an abstract philosophy of life (with shout-outs to the driving philosophies of others).
All opinions expressed are my own, except the Robustness Principle was Jon Postel's.
Also cribbing from The Design of Everyday Things and The Pragmatic Programmer.
