Re:Ask HN: Solo developer, what's your recipe to start working? by longnguyen on Monday April 12, 2021 @01:50AM (#26776377)
Agree wholeheartedly! During the years I've developed a habit to "prepare" the work for tomorrow. Imagine at the end of the day, you're about to work on this "quick and easy" task. How about just do a little of it (not enough to finish the task) and let your tomorrow-self do the rest?

My favorite technique when I'm super lazy, is to write a function with bunch of syntax errors. It forces myself to clear this shit up the next day. And boom, you start working without even knowing it

Hah, picturing an IDE plugin that auto swaps a couple random keywords or characters after last save to always give you a fresh syntax error when getting started!

Whack-a-mole reverse linter, the next big thing...
