Seems as though thinking of things to put on a Blog is harder than I thought. Was trying to think of interesting/applicable things to mention, but seems I'm short on ideas lately.
Scope is one of the biggest things I see as a problem lately. It's mentioned nearly everyday in my classes when school is in session and I find myself repeating it even now.
Judging the scope of a project is pretty difficult and you will probably be in over your head the first time you start something. But, I think that's a very eye opening realization that can help us figure out our own limits and weaknesses.
I recently tried to quickly prototype an idea that I had, only to be staring at it a few hours later saying "I'm totally not getting this done quickly.". Think small when you're wanting to start something, but also be prepared to adjust it. It doesn't feel very good to try and reach a goal you don't have the knowledge or skills to obtain, let alone the first time you try it.
