Ask HN: How to teach myself not to overcomplicate?
3 by euos | 5 comments on Hacker News.
All my personal projects seem to fail because I jump off the deep end. E.g. I want to implement a simple image hosting to learn GCP and have some fun with React/Tailwind (I had AWS experience). Instead of building the hosting itself I start with user authentication, reading about Passport.js, JWT, specs, etc. I spend a lot of time on this, until I get bored and set the project aside... I have 20+ years of experience and I worked on stuff like Node.js and Chromium - so I know a lot of "what can go wrong" in a cloud application - security, scalability. How can I learn to ignore those concerns when I toy with code for fun?
