So you’re dancing on the edge of a midnight epiphany, huh? First, lock the core security features into a small, well‑tested module—don’t let the fallback logic spill into the same codebase. Think of it like a safety net: simple, isolated, and easy to patch. Then, put a sanity check on every new feature: ask yourself if a regular developer could understand it in five minutes or if it feels like you just scribbled a note in a half‑sleepy notebook. If the answer is “no,” refactor before it turns into a maintenance nightmare. And remember, the best brilliance comes from a clear separation of concerns—save the creative explosions for the design phase, not the deployment.
