It reaches a point where you have to wonder, are ideal development patterns even attainable? At least in the real world, for most developers and teams, given the realities of budget constraints, fallible people, non technical mangers' poor decisions, miscommunication, lack of training, nightmare clients. Is perfect software too pure an ideal, too idealistic? Is it even needed - how extensible really do systems need to be, when in reality they tend to just get rewritten? Tl;dr YAGNI?
11/ begin with at least 5x as many onions as are normally required
10/ remove only the outer layers, which were naturally intended to prevent rot
9/ snip, top and bottom, slice roughly
8/ fry in butter, until, you know when
7/ ladle as much as possible into an imaginary hot dog bun, without a sausage
6/ with the right hand, direct the bun towards one's mouth
5/ maintain hand movement in the same direction until all onions have entered the mouth
4/ weep silently inside, with joy, at the uninterruptible taste of exquisitely caramelised onion, whilst using the left hand to mime wiping warm butter away from one's chin and clothing
3/ apply the now-empty buttered hand to your partner's face
2/ use the clean left hand to mime taking a selfie of the two of you

but once in a while you may come across a program like an old well built oak furniture. The more you use it the more you appreciate the craftmanship and the attention to detail that was put into it.
I was recently lost programming in Guile Scheme and it was because I was getting an error in a function that said < had a wromg type argument, but there was only one part where < was used. It turns out that wasn't.the issue, because > is a wrapper function that uses < and I wasted time looking at an irrelevant spot. OP image sums up my experience.
