Business Week 96 - Planning
Planning next year in my case is not a simple task.
Planning next year in my case is not a simple task.
It's a weird feeling when you complete the work but the final effect is not as good as you'd expect it to be. I've completed the next great feature in the app but, to my surprise, it exposes the lack of perfection of the product as a whole.
We often tend to forget that something pretty easy to our minds may not be that obvious if we try to describe steps to do something.
I like watching Formula 1. One of the principal concepts of the qualifying session, the one that determines the order on the grid during race start, is the way drivers manage tire condition and energy. They typically alternate one push lap and one cool-down lap. This means on one hand, that many laps are the preparation ones, but when it comes to fighting for the best result they are well prepared.
I decided to stop the second iteration of sewing after 1750 lines...
I'm sewing again. This time I decided to pick a very general picture of the butterfly to focus on gathering more feelings and calibration data comparing the outcome of the generated image to the real one.
I've done it!
The good news is that finally this week I finished all the changes I planned after the initial tests of Beta...
Another round of progressing towards beta of the Strings project ended with mediocre success.
It went smoother than I expected.
Finally, I was able to return to my secret project Dots, which in fact should be renamed to my secret project Strings. I received new, updated frames from my teammate and that was a kinda motivational boost to start fixing issues after the first version of the algorithm was released.
Five weeks to go and no progress at all...
So the first summer week is over and I could not agree that it was a productive one.
It was a kinda cooling-down week when nothing particularly special happened. I was in the countryside enjoying nature and working rather physically after hours.
I finally finished the first phase of my secret project `Dots`, btw. recently renamed to `Strings`. So the first phase of my secret project `Strings` is finally over and the other part of our project team can now focus on their part.
