I've been working on four projects in the last 12 months. I helped starting one of them in 2017 (Elixir / Phoenix.) I inherited a RoR one in 2012 and two Django ones in 2016 and 2019.

Given the long life of projects that make money one doesn't start many of them but being able to show something in a short time is important. It helps to focus on features and not to get lost in architectural yak shaving.

Yak shaving. It's "my mission in life" to avoid that. I like pushing things out fast and early.

"Listen to your customers and push out the features they need, not the features you think they need."
