I generally disagree with 'never ever' statements because they apply a blanket clause to a particular issue and tend to be from the perspective of someone who has experienced that problem in the past. As a relatively new programmer, this post was pretty insightful. Thanks.
Sometimes I learn better by making the mistakes and learning not to repeat them; that can be pretty annoying for others that have to work with my code I guess. Most mistakes I've made while programming are non-fatal/non-critical, but they do add up and refactoring perhaps helps with that. I think pair programming further alleviates such issues? So the lesson learnt is that I should be more mindful of how I name classes/methods, which I honestly haven't paid much attention to in the past.
