About Daily Dev Habit
Code is Temporary. Context is Forever
We build complex systems every day, but we often forget the decisions that led us there. Daily Dev Habit bridges the gap between the code we write and the stories behind it.
Who Is This For?
For the Agency Manager:
“The Standardization Problem” You have five developers working on five different projects. One sends updates via email, one via Slack, and one forgets to send them at all. The formats are messy, and compiling a “End of Week” report for the client takes hours.
- The DDH Fix: Daily Dev Habit lives inside the WordPress Admin dashboard. It forces a standardized structure (Questions & Answers) that you define. You get clean, uniform data that is easy to aggregate and share.
For the Local Developer:
“The Context Trap” You are building a custom plugin. You work on it for a week, then get pulled away to another project. When you come back a month later, you stare at your own code and ask, “Why did I structure the API calls like this?”
- The DDH Fix: By logging your “Key Decisions” and “Friction Points” every day, you create a breadcrumb trail for your future self. Syncing these logs to GitHub means your documentation survives even if you delete the local WordPress installation.
