These are a different kind of heuristic from those of Arthur Riel 1996. They guide the designer's thinking rather than the design itself.
- Whenever you see the number 1, consider that it might be N.
- Whenever you see a constant, consider it might be a variable.
- Whenever you see two or more concepts that are arbitrarily connected, consider they might need separation.
- If a decision seem arbitrary, consider how it could be made differently.
- Consider that what is ancillary today will be primary tomorrow.
- Consider that what is low volume today will be high volume tomorrow.
Discussion
- This looks like Software reuse culture. It conflicts with agile ideas like You ain't gonna need it and Do the simplest thing that could possibly work.
