The 2.x anti-pattern
If you write programs from scratch, however, the decode-process-encode paradigm quickly becomes second nature.
Except in this particular arena, it already should be to anyone reading this list. Decorate-sort-undecorate is another example of the same idea. Transform-compute-untransform is the basis of NP-complete theory. Frequency domain processing sandwiched between forward and reverse Fourier transforms is a third example. And so on.
