One thing that I’ve been focusing on lately is “the little things”. Does the interface look nice? Is the font big enough to read 2ft away? How easy is the command to update the software? Have we tested both the backup AND restore workflows? Are they all buttery smooth? Does everything work the way you’d expect right away, out of the box, by default? The nicer the workflow, the more vanilla the tooling, the more self-evident the naming conventions and related patterns, and the more pleasant the workflow, the more time you avoid wasting. And while it may not sound like much, over time that shit adds up. We’re talking, cumulatively, about DECADES worth of recovered productivity here, on a small team, over the course of maybe a year or two, tops. It’s the little things, y’all.
