how i keep projects small π
- add one feature at a time, then sit with it
- prefer files over systems, text over databases
- modular, always modular
- wander, then map small spaces/parts ... cartography comes with exploration
- if it needs a framework, question whether it needs to exist
- a project that does one thing well beats one that does five things poorly
- finished and small beats ambitious and abandoned
- small parts add up to big pictures
- tend it, don't optimize it
