Too fast. Concentrate on your marketing plan first; it's a crying shame if you let your talent go to waste on a failed project.

- freehunter 15y agoOn the other hand, I've had a few projects where I spent a lot of time building up documentation and marketing presentations and by the time I got around to writing the code I realized that the project really had no legs. It's very easy to hype yourself up to create a project and convince yourself of everything it's going to do, but before you do you need to understand if the project will work out. I've had a lot of "wow, I don't know how to implement this" or "this isn't nearly as interesting as I thought" moments. Marketing tends to focus on the best aspects of the project, getting down to coding it makes you understand the challenge you're actually facing.
