When writing reusable code, you put it into a function/method call, you give it clean interfaces. Reusabl...May 9, 2023·2 min read·21

Design Principles - OrthogonalityGeometry: 2 lines are orthogonal if they meet at a right angle (90 deg). But the lines are independent. Computing: 2 parts of a system are orthogonal if changes in one do not affect the other. Other words for orthogonal are modular, layered, compone...Apr 18, 2023·1 min read·12
