Software principles that last don't come from architects in glass offices. They come from practitioners who noticed what kept working.

These principles arose from doing the work. They did not descend from on high from those far removed from the work.

This, I feel is the most fundamental truth about doing work: those without dirty hands are wrong. Doing something makes you right.
