Hey, fellow DEVs,
I'm curious ๐ค about our processes when starting a new project/challenge.๐
Whether you have years of experience or are new to the field, I'm sure you have valuable insights to offer.๐กโจ
Do you start by creating a plan on paper or move straight to code?๐๐ป
What is your approach to development when you already have a design?๐จ
What are your favourite tools or technologies in your development workflow? ๐ ๏ธ
Let's talk about it in the comments below!๐ฌ๐

For small projects, I usually start fiddling around and patch stuff together.
For small to medium customer projects, there's usually
For bigger ones:
Sometimes I even write docs, if it's scoped in the budget :)
Hi tq-bit,
Thank you for sharing your process and the tools you use! ๐ ๏ธ
Seeing how you approach projects of different sizes and the tools you use for each stage is insightful. ๐
Yes, writing docs can help in the long run ๐, but I bet most of us might not like writing technical docs. ๐
For creating a website, I usually start by throwing some simple code together and possibly using AI (ChatGPT) to upscale quickly to get an idea. But if it is a larger project I will plan with tasks or draw it out on paper to get an idea of layout (I should probably do this more often). I like to use CodePen and Replit to develop quickly and GitHub to keep track of tasks.
Hi SalladShooter,

Yes, it is best to have a plan before jumping to code. ๐๐
It helps save time while coding, as you know what direction you should be going already.
Nowadays AI helps to speed up development. ๐ค
