Customer interaction is one of the most important aspect of every project and all to often, one of the hardest to accomplish. Good customers (within your company or external clients) will have an interest in being a part of the project, will answer questions, provide feedback, etc. Bad customers will provide a minimal description of what they want, will not provide feedback, don't answer questions, etc. Guess which customers are most associated with successful projects. I have learned to build a team that centers on the customer up front before any code is written. Make sure to test the customer's commitment to the project. If they are not committed, don't be afraid to move on. Your project will likely be determined a failure by the customer in the end anyway. Mind reading has never been a project management skill. ;)

Hahaha, great stuff Arjan. Currently looking at a project I put together back in '85 with a small team. Looking to do it again for a mobile app. All by myself this time! Cheers mate.

Another great video, been using all you tips in my code rotine. I have a suggestion for a video, could you talk about type hints in python? I find this quite confusing, especially with non primitive variables as type hints =(

One thing I WANT to have more people automate is the visual quality of products. Primarily games. Is the smallest version of my button still the size of a thumb (on mobile)? Is the contrast good? Can visually impaired (not blind) people still use the site? Does the foreground separate itself from the background, ... Those are easy to automate but many designers don't know how. Talk to them. Set it up. Your users will thank you.

On the topic of coding efficiently, could you maybe look at the tool "ruff" for Python?

This video really plunged me into depression. I guess I'll have to see a psychoanalyst...

@ArjanCodes Or anyone else. I'm looking for a useful reference project in python that is structured with a domain, any ui front end, a data backend, and a suite of tests. Any ideas?

Hi, I'm currently working as a python developer for one big US company (with some background in data analysis/ML). And after 3 years, getting pretty burned out. Weirdly enough, I enjoyed the pandemic times, working alone at home :D So I've been thinking to go solo. But I don't know anyone who did it or don't have slightly idea how or where to begin. Please, do you guys here have some experience to share? Or what are the options? Thanks!

If i may ask, what factors do you think resulted in you burning out there?

Big fan of your channel, but this video was more akin to "How to slow down your project and never release anything". Adding all this overhead before the project is making any revenue or has a user base will only ensure that the project never leaves the ground.
