The only reason I recommend this paper is because I encounter so many people that have a very myopic view of the software that they’re building. They are focused on individual features and how to quickly made them happen regardless of what happens to its cohesiveness. You start to talk about interfaces and contracts and they’re like a deer blinded by a car’s headlights.
