Notes from a very normal commute with Web Dev without making it complicated
I tried this in Madrid with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than the perfect plan.
A few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat
I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 8 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.
> Tiny progress is still progress.
That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where css stopped feeling new.
