Some of these laws are like Gravity, inevitable things you can fight but will always exist e.g. increasing complexity. Some of them are laws that if you break people will yell at you or at least respect you less, e.g. leave it cleaner than when you found it.

Lots of them are also only vaguely related to software engineering, e.g. Peter Principle.

It’s not a great list. The good old c2.com has many more, better ones.
