Is it typical for a full stack app to take this long to build?

Asked By TechieAdventurer42 On

I've been working on a full stack web application using React for the front end and Node, Express, and PostgreSQL for the back end. However, it's been a struggle, and I've spent over 10 hours just getting the chat feature set up. Is this amount of time normal, or am I just moving too slowly?

Honestly, 10 hours is nothing when it comes to building an app. If you're just starting out, the first version is likely just going to be a simple "hello world" setup with the libraries you're planning to use. Once you’ve built a few apps, you’ll find that you can go faster using snippets of code you've created before. Give yourself time, you're still in the early stages!

Yeah, totally agree! The first few projects usually take longer, but it gets easier as you get familiar with the stacks.

10+ hours might seem like a lot, but in programming, that's just the tip of the iceberg! I sometimes spend that long just on planning before I even write code. It’s a complex process, especially with something like a chat application that has lots of moving parts.

Exactly! Some features can take ages to nail down, especially if you want them to be well-designed.

It's completely normal for a project like this to take a long time. The complexity of chat systems can't be underestimated; they require a lot of thinking ahead. Just getting the initial setup done is a big step!
