While we're at it, let's get down to just cooking and forget food science. Never mind how a recipe should be adjusted at altitude. Or what to substitute when the person eating your minimally viable meal has a food allergy to an ingredient. Or what other things go well with your main entree. We're just cooking up things we got out of a can, after all.
Don't learn any patterns. Except the ones DHH wants you to—those are ok. All the rest of them just get in the way of writing software.
