The process of building quality applications starts long before any code is written.

You need to understand the domain, you have to design something that solves an actual problem or delivers tangible value to someone, you need a holistic approach to user experience.




Even if you understand the domain, you can build the wrong thing, or just simply not know something you don't know; thus you can't even learn it.

I've seen this too many times to count.




Consider applying for YC's Spring batch! Applications are open till Feb 11.
