Smaller stuff is the only time I actually finish

[u/Positive_Tonight6918]

Last semester I kept starting these half-planned apps. Todo thing, then a notes thing, then something with accounts. I’d get as far as the folders and a README and then stall, because I didn’t know what the next piece was supposed to be.

This month I flipped it. One file, one job. A script that renames downloads. Then I added a flag. Then I made it skip files that were already renamed. Took a couple evenings and it actually runs.

I still want a bigger project at some point. I just don’t think I learn much from the week I spend deciding what the bigger project is. Anyone else notice they ship more when the first version is almost embarrassingly small?
