Keeping One Source Of Truth
by riekelte67b7af9ac74No license5 starsListed Oct 8, 2026Updated Oct 8, 2026Repository updated 3 weeks ago
Use when adding data, config, state, constants, an enum-like string, a cache, or anything that could exist in two places - or when two sources already disagree. Encodes the one-fact-one-source doctrine for code and data: derive rather than store, extend the owner, absorb duplicates. Use at the moment copying a value feels faster than referencing it.
