Whitespsce. It feels like you're giving my mind space to actually understand what you're trying to achieve with your code.

Structure, clarity and cleanliness. It might take longer to write and perhaps longer to understand but it pays back 100 times when it comes to support.

Automated tests. The confidence in a set of well written tests run as part of pre merge build pipelines can't be underappreciated.

Code reviewing deletions. Seeing people getting rid of old code no longer needed and tidying up is such a good feeling.

Generally improving the code as you go. It's like a warm blanket of reassurance that others care about this product as much as you do.
