Ask HN: What are good tips for personal project hygiene?
I start a lot of seemingly one-off projects that I forget about, and then months later either want to reuse or share with friends. Unfortunately, it ends up being a hassle because I don't remember all the hacks I used to get things off the ground so I have to reread things to figure out what commands to run in what order etc.
I've learned some good tips from my work experience, but I've never really done 0 to 1 in a work setting without there being some previous infrastructure for me to work off of.
Some of things I'm thinking of
- dockerize
- all env vars go in a .env file
- avoid absolute paths
- DDL should be in re-runnable migration files
Are there any other easy wins that people could recommend?
