|
<p>When developers try to solve a problem, they sometimes try to find a way that |
|
will solve all the problems, including the ones that may appear in the future.</p> |
|
<span id="continue-reading"></span> |
|
<p>Trying to solve the problems that will appear in the future comes with a hefty |
|
tax: future problems future will never come -- and, believe me, they will |
|
<em>never</em> come -- and you'll end up either having to maintain a huge behemoth of |
|
code that will never be fully used or you'll end up rewriting the whole thing |
|
'cause there is a shitton of unused stuff.</p> |
|
<p>Solve the problem you have right now. Then solve the next one. And the next |
|
one. At one point, you'll realize there is a pattern emerging from those |
|
solutions and <em>then</em> you'll find your "solve everything". This pattern is the |
|
<em>abstraction</em> you're looking for and <em>then</em> you'll be able to solve it in a |
|
simple way.</p> |
|
<p>As Steve Jobs once said "You can't connect the dots looking forward, only |
|
backwards".</p> |
