  • Fight for Pareto's law, look for the 20% of effort that will give you the 80% of results
  • Prioritize, minimalism isn't about not doing things but about focusing first in the important
  • Perfect is enemy of good, first do it, then do it right, then do it better
  • Kill the baby, don't be afraid of starting all over again. Fail soon, learn fast
  • Add value. Think constantly how you can help your team and position yourself in that field/skill
  • Basics, first. Follow always a top-down thinking starting by the best-practices of CS
  • Think different. Simple is harder than complex, which means you'll need to use your creativity
  • Synthesis is the key of communication. We have to write code for humans not machines
  • Keep it plain. Try to keep your designs with few layers of indirection. Clean kipple and redundancy. Minimalism is all about removing distractions
