Yes and: I vaguely recall Riel's Object-Oriented Design Heuristics [1996] shared the same advice. https://www.amazon.com/Object-Oriented-Design-Heuristics-Arthur-Riel/dp/020163385X https://www.amazon.com/Object-Oriented-Design-Heuristics-Art... https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/object-oriented-design-heuristics/020163385X/ https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/object-oriented-design-... Aside: Young me obsessed over design patterns, methodologies, software engineering, SQA, etc. I had all the books. I started a design patterns study group and hosted it for a while. Now all that "wisdom" is just a bunch of old books. Somehow craftsmanship, me, or both became irrelevant. Or maybe it was never important. Like Alistair Cockburn opined about the failure of CASE tools, people somehow manage to ship software successful, without the benefit of all that smart stuff.
