No more tears from project nightmares
summary
Practical checklist-first workflow: draw a simple system diagram, map inputs/outputs, pick an example project, then implement main elements first and split features into short sprints. Use Trello, Slack, diagrams.net, Ubuntu/WSL, Flask, Jupyter and GitHub Actions; follow a git ritual (git pull, meaningful commits, push before breaks). Generate deps with paperx not pip freeze, estimate time vs effort, run a day minus 10 backward checklist with checkpoints every three days, and avoid half-features or long sprints.
