Drawing on James Clear's 'Atomic Habits', this post argues that good software development comes from stacking small, consistent practices rather than chasing a single perfect architecture. Key habits include focusing on composability and removability over maintainability, slicing code by business behavior, automating conventions to reduce cognitive load, and being pragmatic about patterns rather than following authority blindly. The author advocates for continuous improvement (Kaizen) and ergonomics in development workflows, emphasizing that a grand vision needs solid execution built from small, deliberate bricks.
