I love the approach to set a timer to figure out a design in an hour! I will try this in my next design session :) sry i'm a bit behind with your videos :D
Dude what a great video, thank you! As you said, identifying what your fear is and acknowledging that you will go for it anyway, is an underrated mental process. I’m in college and just recently became the projects director for a programming/data science club, and I am definitely nervous about being in this position. However I will expect that small or even large mistakes will be made, and years ahead in retrospect, I know I will feel grateful for stepping up to the plate. I also foresee myself going back to this video for two reasons. Knowing how to structure my projects with the groups that I am leading, and for optimism. Thank you so much Andrew.
Wow, I’m so proud of you for stepping up! Less with confidence, and recognize there are no mistakes, just learning opportunities ❤️ Be open, honest, and fully transparent with your colleagues…they’ll gain a huge respect and appreciation for you as you all go through this journey. I’m rooting for you, and see you on Sunday!’👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This is really good advice my friend - I took a software architecture class a few months ago and they had a bunch of points, but I loosely adopted it in my projects. First I try to write down on front of index cards all the things "actors" should be able to do (example: users should be able to log in, admins should be able to create users etc). Then I try and derive the structure of what those actors would need in order to complete those such as user will need a username and password, admins will need an admin role. Then I say what behaviors each "object" should have - All this with no implementation whatsoever - we can figure that out later - just trying to get things on paper at this point. Then I can take the index cards and maybe combine some of them, organize them and see what is the most important things to tackle first. This can help me build the mental picture of the MVP. Then I can take it one card at a time and implement that feature. This helps me not get overwhelmed, keeps concerns separated, and allows for me to visualize the overall picture.
I love this note card idea!! This is effectively the process of breaking down big epics on the Kanban board, but it’s super fun to get hands-on with it in the beginning! I actually think that tactile method is HUGE for folks learning …they’ll have a much better association with something they did physically 👏🏼 So glad you shared that, I think that’s awesome!
@@_andrewpeacock notion feels like the foaming out of the mouth newest and latest thing. I don’t like it. Haha. You can do a lot with it BUT: I don’t need to do a lot with it. It’s eating the development world though, so I’m being forced to work with it
It’s true, it’s definitely taking over. I’m in love with their new Kanban flow. If you’re on GitHub and you’re just using tasks…you should definitely checkout GitHub projects though. Free, built in, etc!
@@_andrewpeacock oh I didn’t know that! I’ll have to check it out. Trello is where two of my clients live so I’m already there. And that’s how I organize my channel and content planning too
Trello is clutch for the non-code planning! You genuinely may enjoy projects just for all the built in PR/branch tracking built in. It’s pretty sick TBH
@@_andrewpeacock yo dude! Of course! I’ve wanted to join your dev group with the other creators but I balked at adding 1 more monthly subscription. I still might do it to chat more about RUclips!
@@cody_codes_youtube so it’s def not my dev club, shout out to the man @jacobsucksatcode but it is 130+ members DEEP now! Highly recommend👏🏼 Maybe one day in the future you’ll see my own community, but more on that in a bit 👀🤘🏼

A few more for you to binge watch!😉 loveeee the design timer!

I treat it like a true software project and make a trello board with all the tasks and features and monitor my progress and total MVP requirement!
There is something MAGICAL about putting it on paper to be honest. Self accountability HACK👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 why Trello > Notion?👀

Bro! You’re getting close to 1k!
Keep it up!
WHOA! I had no clue you still tuned into any of my videos! Genuinely stoked ❤️ I appreciate you Cody, and lowkey still binging all your videos 😬😬😬

@@cody_codes_youtubeDooooooo it bro. We even got a dedicated #youtube-creators chat now hahaha
@@_andrewpeacock I know, I couldn’t remember his name, I just knew you were in it.
How do you break down and plan projects??👀👀👀
Watched the whole video or listened rather while doing dishes great video man 🎉
Absolutely LOVE THIS! That’s exactly the vibe I was hoping for this video❤️❤️👊🏼 see you next week!
