Should I plan this project or dive straight into coding? Should I use this plugin or that library? Should I ask for help or figure it out myself?
Sound familiar?
Every developer faces such questions every day, and most of the time, make wrong ❌ decisions, and I was no different.
That all changed when I started implementing the below points into my routine.
