I strongly agree with this, but there is a danger:over-engineering, where you build a very generic module where a much simpler one will do. The key point: build the most specific module that will do the job; if it needs to be more generic for a future application, then you go back and modify it as needed, adding a second interface if necessary. Generic features that have not been used or even tested are basically garbage code.
- jongjong 3y agoIt needs to be generic while also being as simple as possible. So you're building the module for a specific situation but leave it as open as possible for other situations without explicitly optimizing for them.
