🔄 Platform Thinking is a habit

Platform Thinking in the context of product development has many parallels to effective habits in personal life. With personal exercise, healthy eating, getting enough sleep, and reading good books - these are difficult to start, but easy once started, and rewarding once finished. These things work best when they are habits - a regular behavior pattern that a person tends to do automatically, often without much thought.

Documentation, testing, and automation in a product development context are similar. It won't just happen. A framework is required to nudge us into a pattern that turns into an effective habit. In many ways, Platform Thinking is just Atomic Habits for product development teams.
