I'm attempting to write shoddy, lazy code that creates a working prototype. I have a stack of ideas that are really quite small applications, however I keep trying to build them 'properly', as an API-first client-side application, which ends up with these projects never getting finished. Just finished the first prototype - a don't-break-the-chain app in a single PHP file (embedded HTML, the horror). It's liberating!
