Eliminate incompatible design approaches

Create better applications faster by eliminating incompatible design approaches

In our struggle to build large, complex applications we must work hard to find those things which do work well together and avoid those that don't. As development teams get larger it becomes harder and harder to keep a consistency of vision that keeps every developer focused on the same design approaches. See some examples of how design approaches can be incompatible and get some suggestions on how to build a common design approach.
