"A small multiple (sometimes called trellis chart, lattice chart, grid chart, or panel chart) is a series of similar graphs or charts using the same scale and axes, allowing them to be easily compared. It uses multiple views to show different partitions of a dataset."

Some people think design means, “Write down exactly how you’re going to implement an entire project, from here until 2050.” That won’t work, brother. That design is too rigid–it doesn’t allow your requirements to change. And believe me, your requirements are going to change.
Planning is good. I should probably do more planning myself, when it comes to writing code.
But even if you don’t write out detailed plans, you’ll be fine as long as your changes are always small and easily extendable for that unknown future.
