" "Programs, like any other human-made objects, are designed — or should be designed — with a definite lifespan and scope of application in mind. Like the “Deacon’s Masterpiece,” which was “built in such a logical way it ran a hundred years to the day,” a program should have neither over-designed or under-designed parts. Yet it is an occupational disease of programmers to spend more time on those program parts that present, for some reason, the most intellectual challenge rather than on those that require the most work.
