involve users in the trade-off

Critically analyze what you read and hear
Communicate!
A large part of our day is spent communicating, so
we need to do it well.

ask yourself: Does this get across whatever I'm trying to
say?
refine it until it does
know your audience
understand the needs, interests and capabilities of your audience
None
get to the same frequency of your audience
choose your moment
choose a style
make it look good
be a listener
A pragmatic approach
By keeping these fundamental principles in mind during development, you
can write code that's better, faster, and stronger. You can even make it look easy
Every piece of knowledge must have a single, unambiguous, authoritative
representation within a system
DRY don't repeat yourself
- imposed duplication - inadvertent duplication - impatient duplication -
interdeveloper duplication How does duplication arise?
eliminate effects between unrelated things
Benefits
increase productivity
reduce risk
increase reversibility
every decision can be changed!
Coding DRY
keep your code decoupled
avoid global data
avoid similar functions
Single responsibility
must to be easy to test
Domain languages
"The limits of language are the limits of one's world"
- Ludwig Wittgenstein
