Principles:

Page 65: Faster horses-flying-cars

Choose a space without a dominant design, or focus on a module

Page 66: Faster horses-flying-cars

Choose a problem of medium complexity

Page 67: Faster horses-flying-cars

Discover what fitness means

Page 68: Faster horses-flying-cars

Explore the landscape broadly

Page 69: Faster horses-flying-cars

Make small, reversible changes

Page 70: Faster horses-flying-cars

Measure fitness continuously

Page 71: Faster horses-flying-cars

Discover a modular architecture

Page 72: Faster horses-flying-cars
