You will be the last to know
Software is evil,
but necessary
Every manager aspires to a different perfection;
you must satisfy all
Dread the words “all hands”
Seek efficiencies;
there are but 100 hours in work week
Expect problems to be made,
not solved
Imagine the worst
to prepare for the likely
Fail on the old path and prosper;
fail on the new and perish
Remain vigilant;
someone may do something new
Don't underestimate the power of a vision,
so long as it’s hindsight
Responsibility varies inversely with authority
Respect consensus.
It protects authority by fending off responsibility
Three words that signal a mastery of the JPL way:
“I don’t understand”
