=================
When to Abstract?
=================

:Keywords: abstraction, software design, refactoring, optimize for change, php,
           programming, coaching
:Description: When should we introduce an abstraction in our project? What is
              the right abstraction for this business rule? Do not optimize
              your code to get it right from the start, better optimize for
              changeability!

One of the most difficult challenges in a developers life is finding the
"right" abstraction, or at least the best one given the current circumstances.
The core problem is that abstraction is a bet on the future development of the
software and we know that future is volatile. I will dicuss different
environments of software development and we find a base for you to decide when
and what to abstract.
