I like Wiggin's Law (found in [My Heroku Values](https://gist.github.com/adamwiggins/5687294) https://gist.github.com/adamwiggins/5687294)): If it's hard, cut scope. I'm working on a compiler for my new language and sometimes I get caught up in the sheer amount of work involved in implementing a new language. I mean, I have to write a typechecker, a code generator, a runtime (including GC), a stdlib, etc. But instead of just getting overwhelmed, I'm trying to cut scope and just focus on getting a small part working. Even if the code is terrible, even if it's limited in functionality, I just need to get something working.
