be.

We now come to the decisive step of mathematical abstraction: we forget
about what the symbols stand for. ...[The mathematician] need not be
idle; there are many operations which he may carry out with these
symbols, without ever having to look at the things they stand for.

It’s a problem if the design doesn’t let you add features at a later
date. If you have to redo a program, the hours you spend can cause you

difference between a good designer and someone who is just getting a
piece of code out.
