Law of Parsimony in Practical Object-Oriented Design
Occam's Razor or Lex Parsimoniae or the Law of Parsimony
"It is vain to do with more what can be done with fewer"
It is an heuristic for design; it is not a golden hammer.
applying the razor to SOLID:

Sane guidelines for setting up Rspec tests with subject, let, and before(:each)
1. subject:
Use subject for creating the subject. Named subjects should be preferred unless
used only implicitly thereafter
i.e.:
subject(:user) { create(:user) }
where "user.bar" will be preferred over "subject.bar"
