Personal software

Douglas Pereira

It does not have to scale

• One user is a valid market
• Hardcoded is a feature when the user is you
• Stop when it works on your machine for real

Small on purpose

• A weekend tool beats an abandoned platform
• No accounts, unless you enjoy suffering
• Delete the roadmap

Follow the itch

• Automate the thing you did three times
• Ugly UI is allowed
• Ship to yourself on Friday

This is how you keep taste

• Side projects are gym, not a second job
• Play with the new toy here, not in production
• Fun is a serious reason
