Consistency is more powerful than intensity. A focused effort applied every single day will produce results that no amount of last-minute effort can replicate. The compounding effect of small, deliberate improvements is one of the most underestimated forces in any field.

- Security is not an afterthought — build it in from the very beginning
- Accessibility benefits every user, not only those with disabilities
- Consistency in style and patterns reduces cognitive load for everyone
