Make it real

Ideas are cheap. Make a prototype, sketch a CLI session, draw a wireframe. Discuss around concrete examples, not hand-waving abstractions. Don't say you did something, provide a URL that proves it.

Ship it

Nothing is real until it's being used by a real user. This doesn't mean you make a prototype in the morning and blog about it in the evening. It means you find one person you believe your product will help and try to get them to use it.

Do it with style

My ZSH prompt in Python, with:

• A horizontal rule (as wide as the terminal) before each prompt (when scrolling this makes it easier to see where one command's output ends and the next command begins)
• Nicely truncated current working directory (like fish shell)
• Active virtualenv
• Git branch
• Non-zero exit status
• user@host only if connected over ssh
