Assuming personal projects... Use cheap and simple PAAS integrations. Don&#x27;t write documentation on a personal project. Only test the complex stuff that touches a lot of your app, and enjoy the new ways it challenges you to conceptualize. 100% test coverage is foolish. Don&#x27;t &quot;test like the TSA.&quot; Actually, don&#x27;t even write tests if your app is simple.<p>Code however you want. Don&#x27;t let programmers who pose as authorities fool you into thinking you&#x27;re &#x27;doing it wrong&#x27;, that kills all the joy in programming.  As long as you&#x27;re thinking through things and it works, and especially if you&#x27;re actually enjoying it, you&#x27;re most certainly doing it right.
