SIDE PROJECTS : WHY IT FAILES
ABOUT Rubyist / JavaScripter Yeoman team member Works at @whatznear
Blog at blog.revathskumar.com Twitter/Github - @revathskumar
THIS SLIDES ARE NOT INSPIRATIONAL, RATHER FULL OF MISTAKES ;)
I START, BUT FAIL TO LAUNCH.
#1 : TREATED SIDEPROJECT AS EXPERIMENT Treat sideproject and experiments
differently
#2 : USING UNKNOWN FRAMEWORKS Use the known frameworks and
libraries Known frameworks = less learning curve
#3 : DIDN'T KEEP TRACK OF TIME Schedule the roadmap
and stick with it.
#4 : PLANNED A TON OF FEATURES Make it minimalistic
Cut down features
#5 : PERFECTIONISM Don't worry about design Ship it. we
people will report the bugs.
#6 : DIDN'T OPENSOURCE someone intrested may come forward and
help you.
#7 : MULTITASKING One app at a time Again, scheduling
may help you.
