Good design means it's easy-to-change — Matthias Noback - Blog
Software development seems to be about change: the business changes and we need to reflect those changes, so the requirements or specifications change, frameworks and libraries change, so we have to change our integrations with them, etc. Changing the code base accordingly is often quite painful, because we made it resistant to change in many ways.
Code that resists change I find that not every developer notices the “pain level” of a change. As an example, I consider it very painful if I can’t rename a class, or change its namespace. One reason could be that some classes aren’t auto-loaded with Composer, but are still manually loaded with require statements. Another reason could be that the framework expects the class to have a certain name, be in a certain namespace, and so on. This may be something you personally don’t consider painful, since you can avert the pain by simply not considering to rename or move classes.

If we can figure out when and how listeners want to expand their musical tastes, then mechanisms like recommender systems could help them find novel pieces of music.
