Tips: Favor laziness since laziness can lead to better performance & extendability, Try to compose single expressions which data flows through and, if you struggle, don’t “cheat”, but rather look for stream method alternatives - they are there. It will simplify the whole codebase., and Normalization helps composability. I tend to wrap all my utilities in the same type of stream so that my application code works like legos. Wrapping is a pain, but those utilities tend not to change so it’s a one time thing.
