I like to think about cohesion and coupling for non-trivial projects https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cohesion_(computer_science) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cohesion_(computer_science) Recently, I've been using a tool to show the dependency graph of my program and I've found it to be quite helpful. Perhaps a bigger point is to find and use tools for your environment that really help! I like others also favor minimizing changing global state, unit testing (increases odds your code's interface is more well designed), code reviews..
