Hmm,

I would like to add a couple more - I'd be interested if either of these has a name:

* Assuming that complexity is additive.

* Assuming that complexity of an extension to a piece of software is proportionate to the difficulty of imagining such an extension.

These are good.

I love it when my initial assumption that an imagined new feature would be a complex and painful refactoring exercise only to find out that a few lines of change was all that was required!

Those days I almost feel like the universe has purpose.

Sadly, those days are few and far between.
