  1. Communication is key for building software. Systems work best when they have clear and simple ways for different parts to talk to each other.
  2. Just like on the internet, software should focus on how parts interact, not just what those parts do. This makes it easier to adapt and grow.
  3. When designing software, spend time planning how components will communicate. Get this right early on to avoid problems later.
