Why rule it all at all?

Some rules for programming

1. If I were you I wouldn't start from 1 at all, at all
   
2. No non-programmers in the environment.
   
3. No less than one failing test to start
4. No more than one change between commits
   
5. No less than one fix per run
   
6. No more than one idea at a time
   
7. Never less than one more bug to be found, ...
   
8. No more than 2 whiskeys for prototyping
   
9. Never drink alcohol before hitting "Send"
   
10. As simple as required. No more, no less.

And one law to rule them all.
