			* [http://principles-wiki.net/principles:gall_s_law Gall's Law]: A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. The inverse proposition also appears to be true: a complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be made to work. You have to start over, beginning with a working simple system.

			* [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-responsibility_principle Single Responsibility Principle] - A software module should be responsible to one, and only one, reason to change. Put differently, if a module that creates a report can both require rewriting because someone needs to change its data or change its format, it should be broken into two modules, one for changing the report's data, and the other for changing the report's format. Similar to the Separation of Concerns (above) but at a slightly lower level.
