“If I have the same logic in two places, I work with the design to understand how I can have only one copy. Designs without duplication tend to be easy to change.”

“As with threads and locks, actors provide no direct support for parallelism. Parallel solutions need to be built from concurrent building blocks, raising the specter of non-determinism. And because actors do not share state, and can only communicate through message passing, they are not a suitable choice if you need fine-grained parallelism.”

“Some of the teams who read and applied the first edition of this book didn't get the part of the message about the last responsible moment. They piled story on story as quickly as possible with the least possible investment in design. Without daily attention to design, the cost of changes does skyrocket. The result is poorly designed, brittle, hard-to-change systems.”
