Why One-Line Code Fixes Touch Ten Files
Original: Change Coupling: Why One-Line Fixes Touch Ten Files https://kb.buildingbetterteams.de/docs/technology-product/Software/C
A knowledge-base article on change coupling explains how software teams end up modifying many files for seemingly trivial fixes. It argues that tightly coupled code — where modules depend on each other — means a one-line change can ripple through ten files, and teams should measure and untangle these hidden dependencies to make maintenance cheaper and safer.
Why now: Developers widely recognise the pain of coupled code, and the article offers a concrete explanation and remedy for it.
