About

Hi HN, I&#x27;ve been working on this for a while and it was hard to decide when to stop, either on the way information is presented or when to stop with adding entries. It&#x27;s not meant as a blog, but rather as a reference that keeps growing.<p>Link: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;thehardparts.dev" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;thehardparts.dev</a><p>Currently I&#x27;ve created 4 main section:<p>- Failure Modes: ways project go wrong<p>- Red Flags: early signals that are worth taking seriously<p>- Tech Decisions: common and not so common trade-offs for hard choices<p>- Playbooks - guided approach for situations that repeat<p>I&#x27;ve also focused on creating links between them to show how connected many things are: a red flag usually precedes a failure mode, which might connect to a forced decision, etc.<p>Some entry points to give you an idea:<p>- The Invisible Deadline: a date that exists socially but not explicitly enough to manage honestly<p>- Eveyone Asks The Same Person: when one person becomes the default source of truth<p>- Build a Practical Rollback Strategy: how to build a reliable rollback strategy<p>It has 151 entries across the 4 sections.<p>Curious what you think about the content, format, grouping.
