Starting a software product as a junior RoR developer

Hi everyone!

I have been working as a Full Stack Software Engineer in the tech industry for 1 year now. I want to make my own software product which I have started working on already. How should I proceed the development? Should I start right away or study in depth about the good practices and structure of code for better scalability in the future?

Start right away with whatever you know and bring that product to life as the MVP/Beta version.

You will get the chance to reiterate when you go to v1 and when you have some customers.

The trick is to not overthink in the start and just go for it so you can validate your product idea.

At least that’s what I did when I started building https://zeroconfigrails.com and it has paid well.
