What things you do for starting new project?

It's super interesting hearing about the different approaches people take when starting up and planning a new project. You can learn a whole lot from following someone else's template and getting into someone else's creative mindset.

But aside from coming up with a great prompt, props to @manthanbhatt for responding to each and every commenter on their post in an engaged, courteous way; that kinda kindness is commendable. 👏

Annnnd, this comment + GIF combo totally cracked me up 😆:

Comment of the Week

This one is going to @sherrydays for the hilariously deadpan response to @ben's most recent "Meme Monday!! 🐘"

Is it a copout for me to reward Comment of the Week to someone for dropping a hilarious meme? Maybe... but this one really really got me. 😂 Seeing the typical office chair so boringly parked in front of a desk & computer really puts that "fast-paced and exciting environment" line into perspective.
