Laws of Smalltalk Programming - Smalltalk

The title is off, it surely has to have 'Enterprise' or such in it to
fit these laws.


I would like to propose


Teach a non-technical domain expert Smalltalk and your development time
halves.
Laws of Smalltalk Programming, XI


You know the project is nearly finished when you gain functionality by
removing large swaths of code.
Laws of Smalltalk Programming, XII
