17.3 Taking it too far 走得太远

Consistency means not only that similar things should be done in similar ways, but that dissimilar things should be done in different ways. If you become overzealous about consistency and try to force dissimilar things into the same approach, such as by using the same variable name for things that are really different or using an existing design pattern for a task that doesn’t fit the pattern, you’ll create complexity and confusion. Consistency only provides benefits when developers have confidence that “if it looks like an x, it really is an x.”

一致性不仅意味着相似的事情应该以相似的方式完成，而且不同的事情也应该以不同的方式完成。如果您对一致性过于热衷，并试图将不同的事物强制采用相同的方法，例如对确实不同的事物使用相同的变量名，或者对不适合该模式的任务使用现有的设计模式，那么会造成复杂性和混乱。一致性只有在开发人员确信“如果看起来像 x 时，它确实是 x”时才有好处。
