Stoic philosophy in particular.<br> Philosophy, I think, helps us revalidate our purpose. It acts as a yard stick and makes sure that we are not moving away from our First-Principles.</p> <p>Applying the same to Software Engineering, in my opinion, every team should have a &ldquo;Design Philosophy&rdquo;. What is that one yard stick which teams can use for making better decisions.<br> Infact, it is done in some forms in a few cases. Some call it Guiding-Principles. Some call it MVPs. I call it &ldquo;<code>Design Philosophy</code>&rdquo;.</p>
