Standard human brain can accommodate around 7 different things within its short-term memory. Architect such a way that, whatever the zoom level we are in, we comply with brain threshold. Code should fit in your head at all levels of abstraction. At the entry point, at the business logic level, and at the lowest levels of detail. This is fractal architecture - code that is organised according to that principle of self-similarity.

- No structure. No discipline.
- No relationship pattern eg random dependencies.
- N-flavor projects… Like candies, we cannot be sure of what we get & it does not necessarily taste good.
- Unpredictable behavior ie what happen if… or could I add/remove/swap/…
