The article explains the Norris constant—initially 1,500 lines, later 2,000 and 20,000—as a practical bottleneck where novice programmers’ code becomes unmanageable, arguing that disciplined design, simplicity, and strategic “no” decisions are essential to break these limits and sustain large‑scale software.
