The process of starting a new project can be exciting but also challenging. It's important to stay motivated and manage the project effectively.

When i get a new project idea VS 5 minutes after into coding it

Mine is about 1 week into the project. Initially, the project idea that came into my mind was easy and could ship fast. But, it all changed when I realised that, there are a lot of things that go into the project like authentication, payment integration, UI &amp; UX and then I started to burn out pretty quickly.
But realized it was a bad pattern, so I stopped. What I do now is create a Github repo for the idea, and then add a detailed explanation of the idea I had to the repo README, and then list some basic functionality for it. Then find a time 4nd dedicate an hour or two to it, though sometimes it turns into 4 or 5 hours🤣.

that reminded me of the game-making engine that I’m currently working on. When I first started, I thought it wouldn’t be hard since the concept was pretty simple but, it turns out, turning the concept into reality was (and still is) much harder than I thought. For example, take the data processor, it is just 5 if statements and some string-work and generally quick, but Python had decided that he had enough and got ultra slow so now ı have to thread it and automate it and control it and such and such!!! So, yeah, my life is going great so far.

You forgot to write my name instead of ‘me’ becuz this is me🥲🥲🥲
