This article delves into the plan-execute pattern, a design approach often overlooked by software engineers despite being universally relied upon in daily life. The author contrasts this method with the traditional 'just do it' approach, illustrating its effectiveness through examples like Dfinity’s incremental state synchronization protocol and build systems. The pattern’s separation of planning and execution stages offers significant benefits for testing, debugging, and managing complexity in software development.
