This plus checking codebase in regular intervals for: * KISS? * Bundled components? * Dependency injection useful? * Duplicated components / functions? * Too much/less abstract classes? Interfaces useful?

In my case that looks like: Write code for 6h, review and refactor code 2h. Result is that less code is produced (due to refactoring/removing/etc.) and codebase keeps being simple. On the other hand it's easier to write tests.

No need to use complex enterprise patterns. Most of time simple facades and delegators are enough. Consider writing small simple components instead of using heavy patterns with a lot of boilerplate code.
