In computer programming and software engineering, the ninety-ninety rule is a humorous aphorism that states:
The first 90 percent of the code accounts for the first 90 percent of the development time. The remaining 10 percent of the code accounts for the other 90 percent of the development time.

In computer programming and software engineering, the ninety-ninety rule is a humorous aphorism that states:

The Pareto principle states that, for many events, roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes.
