Concepts
A Fine Line

Here's a good principle to follow in the design and implementation of web technology drawn from the Rule of St. Benedict (dating from around AD 530):

Arrange everything so that the strong have something to yearn for and so that the weak have nothing to run from.

— "The Rule of Saint Benedict," paraphrased by Robert Benson, A Good Life (Brewster, Mass.: Paraclete Press, 2004), 31
