Isn't this called "Boy Scout Rule"?

I learned this when a coworker mentioned this to me. Turns out I was doing it without knowing it was a thing! Of course I continue doing it, but it's good to have a short and clear name to give others (specially those that only seem to follow concepts if they have a flashy name)

The ‘Boy Scout Rule’ and Kent Beck’s idea to “First make the change easy, then make the easy change” are probably the two most important bits of advice I received in my career.

I attribute most of my success to following those rules.

And maybe I’m just applying my own biases, but all the best developers I’ve worked with seem to follow those rules as well.
