most of these aren't principles, these are wishes. Like i can say i have 2 principles - be wealthy and be healthy - and those 2 principles look like very wise and hard to argue with, don't you think? Becoming wealthy takes time and luck. It's not something you can just turn on at will. I just read through each of the principles, and I find exactly 0 of them that share that quality. Most of them tell you specifically what to do, and they are things that you can start doing at any time. Name one or more specific principles that are like "become wealthy" and we can talk about them specifically. We may be reading them differently. > The best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self-organizing teams. which is just some personal beliefs or dreams of somebody, and is obviously not true in general. I've worked remotely for a long time and love it. However, I certainly recognize that there's a legitimate cost to the team. I've also worked for years with teams that are split geographically. Again, the distance is a cost. Of course there are benefits too. That's why we pay the cost. But the principle says the best architectures, requirements, and design. How exactly could physical distance be a net negative to architectures, requirements, and designs, all other things being equal? The methods of communication at your disposal face-to-face are a strict superset of the methods at your disposal when physically separated.
