I'm glad it came across this way. These are all ideas that I believe have helped me build more maintainable systems. But that's just my experience and opinion. I'm happy people are finding stuff to disagree about because I also want to grow and improve my own ideas.
I regret titling the post with the words "good" and "bad". This started as an internal memo for my new team, grew into blog post and I didn't change the title. The title adds connotations that aren't very useful to the reader and sets up a more confrontational tone then I want. Live and learn.
Either way, thanks for taking the time to read through it and for providing feedback.

- mercer 5y ago> I regret titling the post with the words "good" and "bad". The title struck me as exactly what I would expect from you (based on various articles/comments and your podcast), and fwiw, I personally really appreciate it. You're one of the people in the community that communicates in a way that often strikes me as 'overly' opinionated, but the combination of that and your actual experience tends to lead to fruitful discussion (see this thread). Plus, I often find myself wanting to 'prove you wrong' and then I end up doing a bunch of equally fruitful research. So keep doing your thing, is what I'm saying, I suppose. It's appreciated :).
