Don't Repeat Yourselves - or DRY, is possibly the easiest to practice, at the same time, one that could go wrong in the … Continue reading Looking back at DRY
Command Query Separation(CQS)
One of the side effect of using a method out of a library (for which you do not have source code) is that you are not pretty sure if it changes state of a related object. And if it did, when you are least expecting them to, you might have more headaches than you could … Continue reading Command Query Separation(CQS)
YAGNI Principle
We developers have a common problem - We tend to overthink and over engineer. We tend to over think into the future attempting to foresee some of the features that we might require in the project. But most often than not, those features might require a lot of changes resulting in technical debt, or not … Continue reading YAGNI Principle

There are times when have good reasons to ignore a particular exception scenario, while at other times, we are opt for Fail Safe approach. Fail … Continue reading Fail Fast Principle

The better way to explain the principle would be to first express the issue in hand. Consider the below class. The class itself looks good, but what if in future one needs to add … Continue reading SOLID : Open / Closed Principle
