One common piece of programming advice out you'll get is to prefer for things to be "explicit" rather than "implicit". There are a lot of meanings to this saying, and I don't think it's usually described in much detail, so I'll give you an example:

Most programming languages have functions. In our program, we could call functions themselves "implicit". The explicit version of this (especially in object-oriented languages) might be the "command" pattern....

Hey, you! Have you been using git at your job, but feel like you’re mostly just scraping by with the few commands you know? Do you rely on GUI tools to manage your git operations? Stop it! Bad developer!...
