 Keep the
system uncluttered with extra stuff you guess will be used later. Only
10% of that extra stuff will ever get used, so you are wasting 90% of
your time. We are all tempted to add functionality now rather than
later because we see exactly how to add it or because it would make the
system so much better. It seems like it would be faster to add it now.
But we need to constantly remind our selves that we are not going to
actually need it. Extra functionality will always slow us down and
squander our resources.
Keeping
your code ready for unexpected changes is about simple design. Adding
extra flexibility beyond what you need now always makes a design more
complex.
Turn
a blind eye towards future requirements and extra flexibility.
Concentrate on what is scheduled for today only.  |
