      Many of the most important bugs result from slippage between what the programmer thinks data structures are representing and outside world.

      In this vein, this paper is worth a read. "Subject-oriented programming" - https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/bdb2/ed51f2d471c730aea28b3692f63d5c478e0b.pdf …

      If you want an actual book on the subject this is a decent intro - https://www.amazon.com/Software-Requirements-Developer-Best-Practices/dp/0735679665 …
