Wrong abstractions
If you find yourself passing parameters and adding conditional paths through shared code, the abstraction is wrong. It's no longer right for the codebase.
Wrong abstractions are no longer common abstractions; they are series of conditions mixed with vaguely related ideas. This makes them:
- hard to understand,
- easy to break, and
- hard to modify to implement new features.
