Being careful to avoid over-zealous application of OO. In particular,
avoiding inheritance as far as possible; not defining something as an 
object unless it really is an object.

I see inheritance hierarchies as being like goto. Seductive, looks good 
in small examples, very popular at one time, still occasionally useful 
-- but very dangerous.
