You end of writing spaghetti code and things just take longer to implement.</p> <p>I believe that doing some initially planning and architecting has the following benefits:</p> <ul> <li>Your code becomes a lot more structured and cleaner</li> <li>You end up developing features quicker as you focus more on doing rather that thinking so much about what methods or properties you need</li> </ul> <p>At times I know we are keen to get things out but it's always good to do a little planning, no matter how small your feature is. </p> <p>Would love to get some feedback on the types of tools or methods people use to tech plan their features or projects.</p> productivity discuss Chris Ijoyah Tue, 21 Apr 2020 19:26:16 +0000 https://dev.to/chrisijoyah/i-will-build-your-mvp-in-exchange-for-equity-3929 https://dev.to/chrisijoyah/i-will-build-your-mvp-in-exchange-for-equity-3929 <p>Do you have a brilliant startup idea but lack the technical skills to build it yourself? I'm currently looking for interesting startup projects to get involved with. Due to the current world situation, I have some free time on my hands.</p> saas startup Chris Ijoyah Sun, 12 Apr 2020 17:50:37 +0000 https://dev.to/chrisijoyah/development-in-exchange-for-equity-1a88 https://dev.to/chrisijoyah/development-in-exchange-for-equity-1a88 <p>Does anyone know if there is a platform where you can offer your development skills to build parts of an MVP in exchange for equity?</p> startup Chris Ijoyah Sun, 12 Apr 2020 13:56:01 +0000 https://dev.to/chrisijoyah/any-interesting-side-projects-2n2j https://dev.to/chrisijoyah/any-interesting-side-projects-2n2j <p>Due to the current world situation, I have little more free time on my hands, so I am looking to get involved in any interesting side projects.<br> So if you have anything interesting that you may need some support on, feel free to give me a shout.</p> saas laravel vue
