During the design stage ... However, during coding stage ....
First up, let's address your confusion here. Writing code is design. So what you are doing isn't "design" then "code", it's all desig …

Value of using private methods vs all public in classes for internal software for ease of un...
I've left them public for ease of unit testing
Ease of writing those tests, maybe. But you are then tightly coupling that class to a bunch of tests that interact with its inner workings. This res …

What is the cost implication on re-assigning a variable in an if statement
Unless you are obsessive over micro-optimising your code, then the cost is purely in terms of readability and complexity, which is after all at least as important as performance.
You are assigning a …

Reconciling the Interface Segregation Principle with the need to uniquely identify an object
Assuming that I've understood you, you have a situation where:
1. Currently you have a couple of types that implement IsConditionMet and IdentifiesAs.

What is optimal number of entity abstraction levels?
Getting the right level of abstraction is a classic "Goldilocks" scenario:
If you have too few abstractions, you risk eg leaking details of the ORM into other layers and of creating undesirable coupl …

Always return the parameter when it has changed inside the method?
If I see:
public SomeModel DoSomething(SomeModel someModel)
then, unless I have access to the source and read it to find out otherwise, I'd generally assume that it returns a new SomeModel, having …

Is it a good practice to use self-defined exception?
Someone says it is good as the exception comes meaningful and readable, and the opposition thinks it is redundant to define every possible exception and catching exceptions is performance hurting. …

Single responsibility of Program class in C#
The approach I take is to view Program.Main as untestable without running the app. Therefore, it (and the rest of Program) should only have responsibility for setting up the runtime composition and ki …

Is it problematic to have a dependency between objects of the same layer in a layered softwa...
I am comfortable to say that an object belonging to a layer can depend on objects from lower layers
To be honest, I don't think you should be comfortable with that. When dealing with anything but …

What are the benefits of modeling software systems vs. doing it all in code?
I am asking if it makes sense to use (non-code) documents that model the software as the primary source of truth about software design
No. This never makes sense. Your code is your primary design …

Is Poor Man's Dependency Injection a good way to introduce testability to a legacy application?
You make a false assumption here over what "poor man's DI" is.
Creating a class that has a "shortcut" constructor that still creates coupling is not poor man's DI.

Should the web client (web browser) be counted as a tier in n-tier architecture?

Replace Conditional with Polymorphism in a proper way?
Determining whether a confirmation is needed is the responsibility of the Cat class, so enable it to perform that action. I do not know Kotlin, so I'll express things in C#. Hopefully the ideas are th …

Method that is aware of interface underlying type without reflection
The approach I'd take would be to employ some IoC to the builder. Whether the builder is static or injected isn't important here, so I'll just refer to it as builder. The key thing is that builder onl …
