       I spent nine hours on my end of term project yesterday, and that was just on planning and scaffolding. Can't wait until I actually start coding 😅 #FullStack #learninpublic

       @jenA guy I knew once showed me how he would start his programming with comments. Then by the time he'd described everything he wanted the program to do and how, he'd have a structure designed and ready to start coding. Genius! I'm guessing this is what you mean by scaffolding?

       @strypey @jen Trust me when I say that taking a step back, thinking through and planning how to approach a problem is a skill not enough people utilise. So - yay, you're doing the right thing here!!!

       @strypey yel, we are encouraged to do the psudo code through commenting and logging the hell out of it, and it really helps!!! Setting up test plans breaking down issues and acceptance criteria as much as possible before coding up. In this project I have an existing code base to fix and finish, but also bugs to iron out, tests to write, 0Auth and deployment stuff to configure , and api documentation to update, and database schema to design, postgreSQL queries to complete, and wireframes too!
