I really enjoy reading stuff like this: random thought experiments or heuristics (I'm trying to think of a more encompassing term) that seem like something I want to remember.
If this interests you too, you might enjoy the most recent one I learned: "Chesterton's Fence", which is the principle of not breaking something without fully understanding why it was in place. e.g. Don't touch the legacy code, don't tear down load-bearing walls, don't remove the red tape about building in 100 year flood zones, etc.
