From my first big project, I learned deadlines hurt more than help
Setting hard deadlines when you're new just adds stress without improving your code.

Wait seriously? Deadlines are the only thing that got my first project finished at all. Without that pressure I'd still be tweaking code forever.

Totally agree with you @finleys37, that outside pressure is key. It forces you to call something "good enough" and ship it. Honestly, a project is never really finished, you just run out of time. That first version you get out the door because of a deadline is what lets you learn and move on to the next thing.

But does that pressure actually lead to better results?
