it seems to me that people with 10+ years of experience have more empirical evidence what is actually needed/useful. Your comment and other similar ones sound to me as textbook material which is abstract and correct in principle but no

did you know about rule before start writing piece of code in question ? If yes, I really don't see how you can say in good faith that it wasn't your mistake to be fixed.
