The AI Side-Project Clarity Scorecard
The AI Side-Project Clarity Scorecard
You're not behind. You're unclear.
Devs don't fail from lack of skill, they solve the wrong problem.
4 patterns behind every stalled side project:
→ Overthinking
→ Over-engineering
→ Perfectionism
→ Idea hopping
I built a FREE Clarity Scorecard to find yours.

Agree 100% and even more with you. I have been using pnpm for years, and honestly, I can't believe how people don't recognize it as the working solution. Npm, yarn, ... nothing works in the same way.
