How I approach building software. Not a rigid framework—more a set of principles that help me move from idea to shipped product consistently.
Vision > vague ideas
- •Know exactly what you're building before writing a single line of code
- •A clear picture of the end state guides every decision along the way
- •If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough to build it
Small challenges > big problems
- •Every complex project is just a series of smaller, solvable problems
- •Break it down until each piece feels achievable in a focused session
- •Momentum comes from completing small wins, not staring at mountains
Systems > willpower
- •Create processes that make progress automatic
- •Good habits and workflows beat motivation every time
- •The right environment removes friction—set up your tools to help you ship
Measure > assume
- •Track what matters so you know if you're moving forward
- •Metrics reveal blind spots that intuition misses
- •What gets measured gets improved—choose your metrics carefully
Iterate > perfect
- •Ship something real, learn from it, improve it
- •Feedback from users beats feedback from your imagination
- •Done and evolving beats perfect and stuck in your head
This process has served me well, but it's always evolving. The best process is the one you'll actually follow—adapt these ideas to fit how you work best.
