- Comparative AdvantageYou insist on doing a task yourself because you are better at it, ignoring what that hour costs elsewhere.
- Diminishing Marginal ReturnsYou are working harder than an hour ago but producing noticeably less with each additional effort.

- Conway's LawWhen every persistent technical problem maps exactly to a boundary between two teams.
- Gall's LawWhen the comprehensive system designed to solve everything fails on day one and the ugly prototype actually works.
- Nudge TheoryYou never actively chose most of your default settings — someone else did, and your behavior followed.
- Circular EconomyWhen you throw something away and realize 'away' just means someone else's problem.
- Bloom's TaxonomyYou can define the concept fluently but freeze when asked to analyze why it fails in certain contexts.
