A classic. I fear however, we have made no progress towards preventing mud balls since this was written. There are two old methods of application design predominantly used today:- functional decomposition and information (data) modeling. Both lead to big balls of mud as size and complexity of a problem domain increase. Have we given up on finding ways to model a problem or system into code in a better way?
