The Joy of Starting from Scratch

An empty repository is lovely. No unexplained overrides, no half-finished migration, no file everyone is nervous about touching. I can see why starting again is tempting.

The first decisions are oddly difficult, though. There's no existing pattern to follow, and every folder name feels more important than it is. I try to get one real page working before arranging the rest of the project around imagined requirements. Something on screen makes those decisions easier.
