Scaling personal projects

Here are some quick notes from Ferdie De Oliveria's talk, "Scaling Personal Projects", at PHP South West last week:

• Create the project and change the name later. Don't let the project name be a blocker.
• Identify key features and functionality. Use a tool like a Trello board to capture and manage tasks.
• Ponder on the challenges.
• Have a growth mindset.
• Divide tasks into heavy work, medium work and quick wins.
• Fail fast, fail early.
• Refactor.
• Iterate.
• If people don't like it, make it better.
• Consistency is key.
• Practice and perseverance.
