Befor you start the next project…

Next time you start a new project, break apart all the major com­po­nents; Iden­tify each component’s behav­ior and func­tion, and if you are plan­ing to use 3rd party tools (like plu­g­ins) first research how they work, and chose the one that suits your needs the most.

Make sure you know how they work, and what out­put are they using, and only after you’ve decided you are going to use this tool, and after you’ve decided on all tools, start work­ing on the project.
