My latest on Paragraph: Quickstarts Are Recipes - Developers Are Bakers My plea is that developers stop overcomplicating their quickstart guide when building software. Treat your quickstart like a recipe: - Start with a desired outcome, much like a baked good, and get that developer from 0 -> 1 - Set a 'prep time' and 'baking time' that are clear and won't take someone an entire afternoon - Make limited assumptions and make sure you list every single "ingredient" down to what version of a particular library might be a prerequisite or environment constraints - Finally, don't let your quickstart go stale - you want them to buy your cookbook after they follow your recipe. https://lnkd.in/eFDjGR7U

Relatable 😊 . If you don't mind let me add to this analogy of Developers Are Bakers. Ingredients and Raw Materials Developers: Programming languages, libraries, frameworks, APIs. Bakers: Flour, sugar, eggs, butter. Product Developers: Software applications, websites, games. Bakers: Cakes, bread, pastries. Iterative Process Developers: Agile development, continuous integration, iterative testing. Bakers: Adjusting recipes, taste testing, refining techniques. Tools and Environment Developers: IDEs, compilers, version control systems. Bakers: Mixers, ovens, pastry bags Customer Satisfaction Developers: User feedback, app reviews, client satisfaction. Bakers: Customer reviews, taste tests, repeat business.
