Along a similar line, I love Stuart Halloway's talk on Narcissistic Design - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEZv-kQUSi4

Prefer APIs over data.

Start with DSLs.

Always connect (and never enqueue).

Create abstractions for information.

Use static typing across subsystem boundaries.

Put language semantics on the wire.

Write lots of unit tests.

Leverage context.

Update information in place.
