Any dogma is bad. Rules of thumb should be taken as general guidelines, things to keep in mind and strive for when they make sense, not some achievement to unlock so you can cross it off your list. Speed of development, code readability, maintainability, flexibility for enhancement, performance, and scalability. These are all just attributes which have different levels of importance given the situation. You can’t max out all of them, they trade off with each other. Understanding what the priorities are is the first step. Coding for things that aren’t required for the goal is a waste of time and resources.
