Build In Tiny Increments!
Sometimes it's hard to know exactly where to start, if you want to build something cool, and if you want to share it with the world. So, here are two simple tips to help you build momentum. And, here's an example of my own work.
Work In Tiny Steps
One of my most important principles for building software more easily is to just work in smaller steps! No matter how big and complicated your project is, how much code you have to write, and how many decisions you have to make, you can get there by working in tiny steps.
Work In Public
Share your work early and often - with somebody, or with everybody. Let go of the need for perfection. Complete one small step, then explain your thinking, share it, and get ready for the next step. This will help you get used to actually shipping things - even just work in progress - and to allowing early feedback. Both are valuable.
