DRY, SOLID, Conway’s Law, Information Hiding. We quote them, but do we understand them?
In “Principle Misunderstandings”, Kevlin takes familiar design advice apart to uncover what really matters.

@kevlin.bsky.socialReposted by @kevlin.bsky.socialI have a preconference workshop, Principle Misunderstandings, scheduled for Monday 19th October in Kraków at JDD.
