Individuals and interactions over processes and tools => Competence trumps process Working software over comprehensive documentation => Minimize time from program launch to deployment of simplest useful functionality I really like the DoD's phrasings of classic agile maxims:

earlyoom is a neat linux tool that kills processes a little earlier, so your system remains responsive: https://github.com/rfjakob/earlyoom The readme is pretty educational too, and even encourages you to `tail /dev/zero` to see it in action!

VS Code is exploring a model where you have multiple processes supporting the IDE: a fast syntax checker, and a slower error checking/completion service! https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_36#_use-syntax-only-feature-of-javascript-and-typescript-more-quickly (Cute model, but I wonder if the lack of threads in node makes it more necessary.)
