AHA MomentDon't predict future needs.Ayoungprodigyfacedtheultimatetest:howtokeepthingssimplewheneveryoneelsewantedtoovercomplicate.Narrator A young prodigy faced the ultimate test: how to keep things simple when everyone else wanted to overcomplicate.Mrs.Parker,Timmy Mrs. Parker, everyone keeps telling me to add more features to my code, but it always gets messy and hard to change! What should I do?Timmy,Mrs. Parker Timmy, have you heard of the AHA principle? Avoid Hasty Abstractions. Solve for one problem first, not a dozen imaginary ones.SoifIjustmakemycodeworkforonething,Timmy So if I just make my code work for one thing, I’ll understand the real problem... but won't I need to change it later?That’swhereDependencyInversioncomesin!Mrs. Parker That’s where Dependency Inversion comes in! Don’t let your important logic depend on the little details. Build around simple APIs, so you can swap out the messy parts later.SoifImakemycodedependonabstractions,Timmy So if I make my code depend on abstractions, I can change the details later without breaking everything?Exactly!Mrs. Parker Exactly! And if you create a clear API, your teammates can work on different parts at the same time—no more waiting in line!Aha!Timmy Aha! So keep it simple, solve for one, depend on abstractions, and build APIs to parallelize. That’s how real pros code!Quotes: AHA principle: Avoid hasty abstractions. Don't predict future needs. Start with the smallest possible set of the simplest, most essential abstractions. Solve for n=1 first. Then do Dependency Inversion: High level modules should not depend on low-level modules. Both should depend on abstractions. Abstractions should not depend on details. Details should depend on abstractions. Create an API, so you can parallelize serial steps. @Timmy: Resourceful 8yr old @Mrs. Parker: Unpredictable Examiner +Theme: Rendered in the style of Neo-Graphic Noir, this image features bold, contrasting colors with a dominant use of red and black. It combines intricate, swirling patterns with sharp, angular geometric forms. The style is characterized by a dynamic interplay between light and shadow, creating a dramatic and moody atmosphere. The use of fluid line work alongside structured, architectural elements adds depth and complexity, evoking a sense of mystery and intensity.
