B.5.RC:8 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them

Failure in the working situationRepair
Repeating “construct an object with property P” when the obtaining operation is missingRecover the last producing operation and trace its prerequisites to available inputs.
Flattening a construction into a list that loses a shared object or a joint conditionPreserve those dependencies and perform each operation only when its inputs are available together.
Filling an omitted operation with a plausible guess and attributing it to the sourceName the addition and establish how it works, or return to the source for the missing operation.
Treating a successful small case as a result for all inputsRecover which conditions carry the general argument and which belong only to the trial.
Continuing source reconstruction after the intended use is already possibleUse the recovered construction; reopen only for a further question that requires more.
