I think it would be interesting to read case studies of different teams, their principles, how those decisions have impacted them, benefits, drawbacks from their approach, etc.

I think principles are great, but like you yourself have said, they require context. I would especially be a valuable resource for junior and mid career engineers, of which I am one.

I imagine teams will shared their principle lists on blog posts and put reflections there.

Not all of it would appear on the principles.dev, as I think the reflective nature would be best handled elsewhere. But acknowledging pros and cons on the website is very valuable.

The next big piece of work I have to do is on principle lists ( https://github.com/PrinciplesDotDev/principles/discussions/2...) and figuring out what features to include and where to draw the line is going to be tricky... I need to find the principles behind it, really.

It's interesting that you say they would be a valuable resource for a junior and mid-career engineers. I agree, it would. What I've found is it generally attracts people who are a) leaders (in some form or other) b) care about programming deeply.
