Push ifs up and fors down
Summary: In this article, the author suggests two programming rules of thumb: push ifs up and fors down. Pushing ifs up centralizes control flow in a single function, making it easier to spot dead branches and redundancies. Pushing fors down introduces the concept of a "batch" of objects, improving performance by amortizing startup costs and allowing for flexible processing order. These rules can help optimize code, reduce bugs, and improve expressiveness.
