* **Accumulate wisdom and experience rather than codebase**.
* **Low complexity is beautiful**. This is also relevant to e.g. visual media where "high quality" is often thought to stem from high resolutions and large bitrates.
* [[Human-scale]]: a reasonable level of complexity for a computing system is that it can be entirely understood by a single person (from the low-level hardware details to the application-level quirks).
-* [[Scalability]] (upwards) is essential only if there is an actual and justifiable need to scale up; down-scalability may often be more elevant.
+* [[Scalability]] (upwards) is essential only if there is an actual and justifiable need to scale up; down-scalability may often be more relevant.
* **Abundance thinking**. If the computing capacity feels too limited for anything, you can rethink it from the point of view of abundance (e.g. by taking yourself fifty years back in time): tens of kilobytes of memory, thousands of operations per second – think about all the possibilities!
