I shuffled things a bit here

- Overuse of metaphors. Use them sparingly to aid understanding.
- Outdated examples or deprecated syntax.
- Avoid passive voice when possible.
- Avoid future tense.

The title makes this read as:

"Don't... avoid future tense"

Should rework this section a little. Or prefix every bullet with Don't for clarity.
