This is of course why you need to throw your first attempt away --
you learn all the painful lessons so you can do it right the next
time.

Modular systems are typically easy to implement as long as the
divisions between modules are clean and functionally useful. If
they're not you're in for a nightmare attempting to wedge a design
onto a solution it doesn't really fit.
Now you see why I've thrown out and started again from scratch so
many times, and am about to again. Learning curves.
