“Interface vs. implementation” is a split that runs all the way down a software project, from UI vs. code to the names of individual methods. Knowing which of the two hats you’re wearing at a given moment is key to keeping complexity under control and communicating better with your team.

I like these bite-sized realizations but they can be a bit Jack Handy. This particular one is really interesting and I hope Ryan elaborates further in a full-length post.

I think this goes hand in hand with “don’t have meetings”. I’ve been sitting through a lot lately and have noticed that it’s impossible to hammer down which of the two sides you’re talking about with so many people simultaneously trying to give feedback.
