There are a number of "laws" to go along with Moore's law. Programmers and techies of all sorts have a fondness for them.

Here are a few:

Ellison's Law: The two most common elements in the universe are hydrogen and stupidity.

Hanlon's Law: Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

Hoare's Law: Inside every large problem is a small problem struggling to get out.

Occam's Razor: The explanation requiring the fewest assumptions is most likely to be correct.

Cole's Law: Thinly sliced cabbage
