Ask HN: Dislike “Discovery” Phase?
The discovery phase of any new project can be painful because half the time you’re trying to figure out what to do and document in a way that makes sense.
When I embark on large projects, I don't use any tools that I don't completely understand. Large projects are not fertile grounds for experiments.
And when I'm working on small projects or trying to learn something, I always throw one away.
If you don't fully know what you are doing, don't document anything, and throw it away after you've mapped the domain.
