There's a fantastic book called Augustine's Laws where the eponymous author extrapolates trends in defense spending to reach the conclusion that "in the year 2054, the entire defense budget will purchase just one aircraft." I'm sure Lockheed will give…
There are many other laws, e.g.: Zawinski's Law of Software Development: Every program attempts to expand until it can read mail. Those programs which cannot so expand are replaced by ones which can. Atwood's Law: Any application…
…to your comment I went to the campus library and had a librarian help me search for both books. There's an electronic version of MMM available to us, whereas the other book you mentioned -- Augustine's Laws -- is not available at any of the university libraries in our entire country apparently. I am currently reading MMM. I think it will prove to be valuable even though I don't have time to read it quite…

还有很多其他法则，比如：软件开发中的扎温斯基法则（Zawinski's Law）：任何程序都会试图膨胀，直到它能读邮件为止。那些无法如此膨胀的程序，会被能做到这一点的程序取代。阿特伍德法则（Atwood's Law）：任何应用……

……看到你的评论后我去了趟大学图书馆，让管理员帮我检索这两本书。我们能借到《人月神话》（MMM）的电子版，但你提到的另一本书——《Augustine's Laws》——显然在我们全国的所有大学图书馆都找不到。我目前正在读 MMM。我觉得它肯定很有价值，尽管我现在抽不出足够的时间来一口气……
