For years Donald Knuths famous quote was standing:

Premature optimization is the root of all evil

Premature encapsulation is the root of all evil

In his sweeping post Adam also kills a pattern (seems to be his latest hobby), encompasses leaky abstraction and promotes KISS/YAGNI.

Interesting read...
