Brooks' categorization of constraints

1. Real constraints
2. Obsolete once-real constraints
3. Misperceived constraints
4. Intentional artificial constraints

Real Constraints

Obsolete Once-Real Constraints

• Heed the constrains becoming obsolete with new tech
• technology makes many obsolete
• experienced designers, like a lion accustomed to pace the confines of its cage, usually continue obeying those much after they're obsolote
  • trying to optimize for speed
  • tyring to write minimal memory computations
  • The Hundred-Year Language.md > computation speed constraint is relaxed, we can design programming languages makes everything string and 100% descriptive (and many other ideas)

Misperceived Constraints

• lots of creative comes from realizing that a constraint is an illusion (perceived as constraint by most beacuse of human heuristic thinking, or cognitive biases)
• 
• #### Intentional Artificial Constraints
