I find myself in a strange middle ground. Using standard software development practices (issues, backlogs, kanbans) definitely feels like overkill, way too much ceremony and a waste of time.

On the other hand, my overall velocity has definitely suffered due to disorganization and some churn. It's too easy to move back and forth between different objectives, spend too much time polishing, or to change my mind about priorities.

On the third hand, that kind of agility and flexibility is what makes working on a personal project fun in the first place, and the fact that I can always pick up what I find interesting on a given day.

Currently just using a single text file with checklists for features, tasks, plans, and ideas. But it still feels like I'm suffering from lack of planning and organization.

It feels like so much has changed in the last 18 months and I feel like I'm behind the curve.

I love software engineering and have been somewhat hesitant to use these new tools. But I am now committed to becoming an expert on using AI in my development workflow.

What are the tips you would give to somebody who is trying to figure this stuff out for the first time?

I have Copilot installed. Are there other tools that are making a big difference? Any particular workflows that make these tools most effective? Etc. I'm open to hearing everything!

Thank you all!
