Excellent heuristics from Robert Martin (http://objectmentor.com): Whenever you see the number 1, consider that it might be N. Whenever you see a constant, consider it might be a variable. Whenever you see two or more concepts that are arbitrarily connected, consider they might need separation. If a decision seem arbitrary, consider how it could be made differently. Consider that what is ancillary today will be primary tomorrow. Consider that what is low volume today will be high volume tomorrow. Good things to consider when designing/coding. Being a little more reflective during the development process would help prevent a lot of problems. Development isn't a race. Developers win through a complex set of tradeoffs that usually look like a loss from a number of other perspectives. comment[] 6:25:35 AM
