So, ‘nitty-gritty architecture’ or ‘nitty-gritty strategy’ – ”to decompose a program into individual, very small, independently iterative functions … to an extreme degree” in order to compose a system of independent partss– systems in itself – which can be iterated on individually. Akin systems thinking or holon: a holon consists of (smaller) holons and is itself part of a holon.

Hmmm… starting out with TDD can have the corresponding code generated by an LLM; may even show a couple of different approaches that satisfy the tests and have you pick one.
