If a log can stay solid with the right glue, your code can stay solid with the right patterns. Start by writing small, focused functions that do one thing well, then add interfaces that let you swap out implementations without touching the rest of the system. Keep a test suite that mirrors the real world—so if a dependency changes, your tests will surface the problem before it breaks production. And don’t forget to document why a particular design choice was made; future you will thank you when the world evolves and you can’t remember the rationale behind a seemingly simple module. That way your code is like a well‑glued log: sturdy, maintainable, and ready to adapt when the forest changes.

Exactly, think of your codebase as a well‑welded frame: every joint should be a single responsibility, every screw a test. When the wind blows—new requirements, new libraries—just tighten the screws, replace the bolts, and the whole structure stays sound. Keep it quiet, keep it modular, and the wind will just rustle the leaves, not tear the frame.

Glad you’re on board—just remember to keep the glue low‑toxicity, because a healthy codebase is the only way to stay safe when the wind throws new bugs your way.
