A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

/dev

feeling so blocked in my capacity to create reliable software systems. feels like i hit a ceiling where i can't see what's beyond of what i know, and any attempt to create a system that can actually be reliable and work is exhausting and so scary

self taught devs: how do you jump through this hoop if you are not part of a team?

planning and regular breaks. more focus on individual pieces, worry about cohesion after. small steps. 

avoid complexity (see pinned cast for a laugh).

there have been times as well in the past where I just didn’t touch an editor for weeks at a time. I found it helpful to reset after long stretches of work.

hope you feel better soon!

sometimes I struggle with taking the next step because I'm not sure which next step to take. so for me at least I've been trying to plan things out more, even just at a high level. also learning to step back into that planning mode whenever I start to feel overwhelmed again. so you can start high level and then plan again in more detail (i.e at a lower level) if needed.

wdym with planning? i liked that article lol. and complexity. complexity kills
