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.
