Programming · by Ethan Brooks · 2026-09-26

I tried doing architecture the boring way and it worked before coffee

A few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat

This is probly obvious to veterans here, but it clicked for me only recently. debugging got easier when I stopped treating every attempt like a final exam.

Context: I am not an expert, just someone trying to make Programming feel less intimidating. I wrote down what worked, what felt awkward, and what I would do differently next time

This has cozy competence written all over it. This is more useful on a tired late summer than on a perfect day
