Embrace Inconsistency to Cultivate Clarity
When faced with uncertainty or incomplete information, it is crucial to push forward, even if it means using imperfect names or solutions temporarily. This approach allows for progress despite initial confusion. It is essential to revisit and refine these choices later when more knowledge is gained. Effective library API design hinges on guessability and consistency, ensuring that elements work as intuitively expected by users. This predictability fosters a seamless development experience, as seen with systems like jQuery and certain frameworks that provide clear naming conventions. Striving for elegance and clarity in API design enhances usability, making the process more efficient and enjoyable.
