| May 11, 2014 at 19:27 | comment | added | JohnLBevan | It adds future flexibility for very little effort, so whilst not adding value currently it doesn't hurt. Personally I prefer to always do this since it avoids having to think through future possibilities for all scenarios (which is pretty much impossible given the unpredictable nature of requirements, and will take a lot more time to even get a partially good answer than it would to stick in an interface). | |
