Some examples that come to mind: 1. Among long-time Mac users and developers there is a strong sense of what is “Mac-like” based on not just the guidelines set in place by the Macintosh Human Interface Guidelines, but also by prominent examples of well-received Mac software. For example, Microsoft Word 6 for Mac was famously rejected by Mac users in favor of its predecessor, Word 5.1, due to Word 6 not being considered Mac-like while Word 5.1 was upheld as an exemplar of software for the Mac. To this day there are many discussions by long-time Mac users and developers expressing concern about the future of the Mac and whether todays Macs uphold the values they’ve long associated with the Mac. 2. Richard Gabriel’s famous dichotomy between “the New Jersey way” promoted by Bell Labs and Berkeley Unix hackers versus “the right thing” promoted by Lisp hackers from MIT and Stanford/Xerox PARC. 3. The Unix philosophy of small tools that do one thing well that can be combined using pipes and shell scripts. 4. The “move fast and break things” ethos promulgated by Facebook and some other Silicon Valley companies.
