Extreme Advice Considered Harmful
From APIDesign
The section "Do Not Listen To Your Elders" seems unnecessary. The point of the entire section seems to be just this: don't accept advice unquestioningly; make sure that there are reasons to substantiate it. Doesn't that seem like a completely general (and presumably self-evident) point, not just in API design but in life in general?
