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. + + + +TODO: add links to the slides and video of the talk once they are released.
