maybe both are related.

I never understood people that create a function only to set a flag or a set of flags in another and pass everything else.

Also sometime doing code that looks like this

> > if a: > getting_started(d,e) > if a and c: > maybe_prepare(f,g) > common(d,e,f,g) >

Instead of

> > getting_started(a,b,c,d,e) > maybe_prepare(a,b,c,d,e) > common(a,b,c,d,e) >

Usually I leave branching for the leaf code. It's maybe just me.
