#32> I buy a domain name → I code for 3 all-nighters → I lose interest → I start again. At least you're actually doing the "I code for 3 all-nighters" step! I've stopped too many projects at the "I buy a domain name" stage, and added an intermediate "I create a Trello board" step between that and starting to write code. No need to pull all-nighters, which are hard to do with family and a full-time job, if all I need to…

#35Why buy a domain at all these days? Can't you simply use github?

#36There's one Peter Levels, and I don't even think he's actually Peter Levels. I think he's a dude who went viral, so now anything he does gets traffic.

i actually buy the domain name at the end.
i am stingy.
which means i do not buy domain names as i always loose interest after some allnighters. but the code base remains until the motivation returns

#39I have now reached the point where I won’t buy the domain name until I get a prototype ready. I’ve only bought one domain name since then and got the project out! I think the domain name is your reward for finishing your minimum viable product.
never bought a domain until i had the first production version ready
