If you're building a no-code web or mobile app, do you start with your database first or your UI first? 👀 I'm really curious to learn about how people approach building their apps.

Try to have people on as few projects as possible. When calculating the utilization of a person add 10% for each project after the first. e.g, a person working 20% of their time on 3 projects has 80% allocated (3x20+2*10). Being on 1 project is possible when do product thinking

Maybe something like #disciplinedagile
i believe more important than the framework you use is the way you: 1) see where you are 2) determine where you want to go 3) decide how to start 4) have a method that goes from where you are to the direction you want to head 5) keep improving

‘A dwarf planet needs to be in its own orbit around the Sun, it can’t be a moon, vacuumed-up other material in its immediate vicinity, and achieved “hydrostatic equilibrium”—in other words, it’s mostly spherical in shape’ #planet #popastronomy gizmodo.com/mysterious-large…
‘Gartner estimates there are more machines (7.8B) that can act like customers than there are human customers (5.2B) on the planet.’ - Does this mean we’ll eventually need to think about being machine centric? #citizendeveloper #pmi #agile #citizeneverything

this will be our first demonstration of how Disciplined Agile and FLEX work together. Very exciting.
