My very first goal is always to write a “hello, world” program, deploy it to a web server, then uninstall the language, runtime, and other required assets... and do it again. I write up the process, then follow those instructions on a new system. Rinse and repeat until it’s possible for a chimp to replicate. By far the most trouble I ever have is getting soup-to-nuts deployment happening such that I can concentrate on fixing bugs without being scared shitless I won’t even be able get the damn thing running in production.
