I finally understand why Programming people care about architecture that actually stuck

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

I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 8 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.

> Tiny progress is still progress.

That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where learning stopped feeling new.

Big fan of this approach. The cozy part is easy to underestimate.

Kind of wild how often part is the whole issue.

That is fair, but I still worry about maintenance.

I would push back gently on the people part. A little friction removed goes a long way.
