Agreed. That's what Behaviour Driven Development (a la Cucumber) is
all about. I can remember a recent example where I was starting with
the model and ending up with attributes I didn't need. When I did it
the BDD way, the models only contained what they needed to support the
views (which the user cares about).
I've learned the hard way (i.e. by maintaining my own crap!) not to
overcomplicate things with factory this and generic-abstraction that.
It takes some experience to know the difference between a simple
solution and a hack/quickfix. I'm still not there yet.
