The safe answer is to keep the API boring: clear names, explicit errors and one behavior per function. The 3-minute rule is underrated.

That is the part people skip.

Start by reducing it to the smallest reproducible piece, then change one variable at a time. The trap is trying to optimize before you have feedback.

- Write down the exact error and the input that caused it.
- Make a tiny example, then add pieces back slowly.
- Keep the final fix boring and well-named.

Source: mostly hard-won experience and comparing notes with people who stuck with it.
