Have you ever spent 30 plus hours on a software project only to have it scrapped because "it wasn't important". Well I have. And you know what's worse? They were right. I spent a lot of hours on a project that simply didn't need to exist. I failed to see that the project, had I completed it, would have had no real value at all. Apart from simply completing it and scratching my itch. Things only started to improve when I came across a particular principle. A principle so innate it's almost a law of nature. I started to see where the real value was hiding and how I could uncover it. The answer was the 80/20 rule also known as Pareto's Principle. I recently wrote about the Pareto Principle and how it relates to software engineering in my newsletter. You can read it for free here š www.liamwalsh.tech/newsletter/the-80-20-rule-for-dā¦
