Sandi Metz's Rules for Developers Reflections
Raw

Which of Sandi's rules do you feel like might be the hardest to follow—why?

Rules

I feel like the 5 lines per method is the hardest to follow. In general, I have been trying to follow this rule since about halfway through mod 1, mostly with success, but sometimes I just can't find a way around it. They are correct in that I usually get stuck when I have an if/else situation in which it's difficult to pair down the internals to one line each. However, I also find it difficult to stay under 100 lines in a class sometimes when I have a class that I have a lot of methods for. I think I just need to spend more time refactoring classes to have a single responsibility to meet this rule.
