Open thomasmerz opened 2 years ago

I wonder if Clarke's three laws are also useful for developers: 🤔

Have a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarke's_three_laws

British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law is the best known and most widely cited. They are part of his ideas in his extensive writings about the future.[1] The laws These so-called laws are: When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong. The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
