I've only ever worked on something that solved a personal problem. I just go ahead and build something rudimentary/MVP that solves my problem. That MVP could still include manual bits, be sitting on a free subdomain (subdomains fr

Generally, this is true but there are still exceptions and some of them are significant. For example, even though GAE still supports applications built on Python2, they are (as far as I know) not expending effort on fixing issues in Python2

1) First start with trying to sketch out (write out) the solution on paper. Writing out your solution forces you to think the problem through. Psychologically, you don't see it as being stressful or as tasking as writing code which mea

One of the arguments in the article against GUIs is GUI density i.e. you have a lot of features that it becomes difficult to discover them in UI. I believe this is a valid issue but I don't see how CLUI is better at solving this proble

Baby steps 1) Start with ancillary or related tasks. Basically any task that will be needed for the project but maybe not now, and that won't mentally task you a lot. E.g. pick a color scheme, register a domain, come up with your Call

Full disclosures: 1) I have an App - https://nocommandline.com - that is the opposite of this i.e. it says you should use a GUI instead of CLI (for a specific set of scenarios). 2) I'm not a 9-5 programmer even though I hav

When I first started dabbling into trying to do something on my own, Google App Engine (GAE) seemed the easiest to understand and get off the ground. And the fact that everything 'just worked' and didn't require setting up st

This is very clean and looks neat. Also cool that it's for Google Cloud Run. Years ago I embarked on a sort of side project to create a blogging platform which runs on Google App Engine. It helped me learn a lot about Google App Engine
