Opinion-driven design

Read Original

The article critiques the common software design goal of maximum flexibility and configurability, using the author's experience with a failed in-house framework as an example. It advocates for an opinion-driven approach, especially in open source, where a single, clear, and reliable way of solving a problem reduces complexity for both maintainers and users.
