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

The class itself looks good, but what if in future one needs to add … Continue reading SOLID : Open / Closed Principle
