It seems the article is much wiser than this comment. It is a distinction without a difference whether 'requirements always change' or whether 'every requirement always changes forever'. If you don't know which requirement is going to change next week, it does not matter which of these two are true.
- firesteelrain 1y agoThat’s fair from a practical design perspective. But, if you treat “requirements always change” as a hard truth rather than a heuristic or philosophical posture, you can end up in a mode where stability is viewed with suspicion, and architecture never settles. Some requirements do stabilize and knowing when that happens can help determine tradeoffs.
