Fundamental theorem of software engineering
The fundamental theorem of software engineering (FTSE) is a term originated by Andrew Koenig to describe a remark by Butler Lampson: [1]
"We can solve any problem by introducing an extra level of indirection."
The term is facetious in the sense that it doesn't describe an actual theorem that can be proved, only a useful technique.
