On constraints
·
As someone who struggles with order here is my thought collection on the topic from people I love:
Carmack on programming architecture and design:
If you're willing to restrict the flexibility of your approach, you can almost always do something better.
Ango on style:
Style is a set of constraints that you stick to.
Peterson philosophical take:
Without rules we quickly become slaves to our passions — and there's nothing freeing about that.
