Building out workflows in one long recipe rather than creating shorter, reusable recipe functions that can be called from multiple "controller" recipes. For instance: retrieving a single record from a system is something that could be used by multiple controller recipes. I had one master "error handler" recipe that sent error notifications in slack; that was called by every single other recipe I wrote.

Hardcoding values in recipes. Use project settings! Project settings are especially useful for storing environment-specific variables, because you can have the same project settings across dev, staging, and production Workato environments and just change the values. Then the recipe doesn't have to be adjusted when it's promoted to a higher environment.
