    The coding? In little bite-sized pieces. I follow the Unix philosophy of "make each program do one thing well". It's much less daunting to build it one piece at a time.

    I'm fortunate to have an employer who understands that the architectural work is done while I appear to be walking around doing nothing.

    Oh I remember years ago my project manager worried I was not at my desk typing and I had to explain to him that my brain was constantly thinking about the code. Even while on breaks, even at night, 24/7 essentially. It took time to convince him but thankfully my senior knew I wasnt bullshit ting because he was seeing my code. I did burn out after two years, obviously.
