Pitfall Traps

chocolate-chip eyes were downcast; Mustapha was not a happy camper. “Okay, I’m ready.” I was biting the inside of my mouth. If Mustapha could be stoical about Felipe’s impending visit, I could, too.

easy to understand and have well-developed models, whereas others such as Besshi-style massive sulfides or the Olympic Dam models are not well developed and may be represented by a single deposit on which information is difficult to obtain.

much as you can in order to start testing the design against requirements and assumptions. Iteratively add details to the design over multiple passes to make sure that you get the big decisions right first, and then focus on the details. A common pitfall is to dive into the details too quickly and get the big decisions wrong by making incorrect assumptions, or by failing to evaluate your architecture effectively.
