It’s a good law. Probably deserving of the term law in almost any circumstance, although I’ve definitely been “lucky” enough to find exceptions (ie optimizing horribly inefficient code where the optimizations really couldn’t have been premature at any point in prior development). Edit: even so, I’ve found the law holds often enough in exactly the same code. Then it’s a very good opportunity to expand test coverage.
