What kind of project sizes do you prefer and why? Big one, lasting year(s), or smaller ones, in range of months?

All else being equal smaller ones. But I'd prefer a big, well organised & structured over a haphazard smaller one any day.

I treat all projects equally bad.

I prefer one weekend projects. My flaw is that i start over-enginering every time.

MVP should become my thing.

The only thing i like about micro services is that they are easier to complete. Besides that - fuck them too :)

sorry, I think I like the Big ones, lasting little time.

Think about robbing a bank vs pickpocketing in the crowd.

Big projects, small pieces.

I've really gotten into developing code as (npm/composer/cargo/cabal/etc) packages.

Spend two days writing an API SDK for example. Write readme/docs, set up a simple CI, publish on package registry. In a private repo if it's specific to our business -- but I also write public & MIT licensed packages very often.

Let other coworkers glue it together, but still get the satisfaction of contributing on a larger project in the long term.
