以我的经验,最有效的方法是以某种通用的方式实现新模块。短语“有点通用”表示该模块的功能应反映您当前的需求,但其接口则不应。相反,该接口应该足够通用以支持多种用途。该界面应易于使用,以满足当今的需求,而不必专门与它们联系在一起。“有点”这个词很重要:不要被带走并建造通用的东西,以致于很难满足当前的需求。
通用方法最重要的(也许是令人惊讶的)好处是,与专用方法相比,它导致更简单,更深入的界面。如果您将该类用于其他目的,则通用方法还可以节省将来的时间。但是,即使该模块仅用于其原始用途,由于其简单性,通用方法仍然更好。
In my experience, the sweet spot is to implement new modules in a somewhat general-purpose fashion. The phrase “somewhat general-purpose” means that the module’s functionality should reflect your current needs, but its interface should not. Instead, the interface should be general enough to support multiple uses. The interface should be easy to use for today’s needs without being tied specifically to them. The word “somewhat” is important: don’t get carried away and build something so general-purpose that it is difficult to use for your current needs.
The most important (and perhaps surprising) benefit of the general-purpose approach is that it results in simpler and deeper interfaces than a special-purpose approach. The general-purpose approach can also save you time in the future, if you reuse the class for other purposes. However, even if the module is only used for its original purpose, the general-purpose approach is still better because of its simplicity.
