再度體悟到人生無常，應當好好把握每個當下
該找個時間規劃出國旅行
畢竟漫長人生只充滿工作也太無趣

yeah I highly agree. For instance there is a saying in programming "first make it work, then make it fast"

@uffke @metaphil @kenney

Some recommend writing docs before you write the program.

Show threadYrrsinnJul 4
@farooqkz @uffke it is surprisingly helpful to start with a little readme file describing the features and how to use them, in order to get meaningful answers form future users @metaphil @kenney
Show threadC++ Wage SlaveJul 4

@farooqkz @uffke @metaphil @kenney

I find that writing the docs helps me find both bugs and potential usability improvements, because it helps me step out of my own mind into an imaginary newcomer's, and that newcomer uses the code quite differently from the way I do. The newcomer is also less forgiving than I am. Thus careful documentation is important for the output it produces, but also for the effects it has on the developer and the code.

Show threadstilescrisisJul 4
@CppGuy @farooqkz @uffke @metaphil @kenney Even doc comments help here. If you find yourself describing a lot of quirky edge cases, it's a good opportunity to reconsider whether the logic can be simplified or cleaned up.

Show threadMikalaiJul 4

@tomtrottel @kenney
Yes and no.
Something existing gives more concrete details, and at that new point you see more and clearer.
It is debt only if you leave it there for a long time. But initially it was a step that supported you in your climb of unknown and complexity.

Those do no mistakes, who start nothing.

@kenney That's a really good principle that I adopted years ago. Especially when I translate, which I do a lot. First: translation almost as stream of consciousness, superfast, then two or three correctional evaluations.

make a mockup

now mockup is in production and never touched again

Show threadDanny Boling ☮️Jul 4

@Joe_von_Saporski

I can't tell you how often this happened to me. I learned pretty quickly not to show my work until I was absolutely forced to. And when that finally happened, which it always did, I made sure to plaster warnings ("test system" or "WIP - output not verified" or "demo only") all over it and all its output. That still didn't stop them from trying to put unvetted systems that were still a WIP into production but at least I could say 'I told you so' later.

@kenney

@Joe_von_Saporski @kenney Unfortunately, that's true. Not only management is the problem also marketing.
If marketing guys are in your area, cover your monitor or show boring stuff!

@kenney this is a) excellent advice and b) the advice I have the most trouble taking
Show threadThe Penguin of EvilJul 4

@kenney There is however a fine art to making it exist first without digging any enormous holes that will haunt you for the rest of the product lifetime. That's one of the signs of a really good systems architect

For open source it's also often the case that make it work will pull in "make it work nicely" and "I've written an install document" people.

Sometimes even "I can't stand the random formatting in your repository can I please fix it" people!

@kenney @nixCraft Problem for most firms is they just want it and don't care if its good, then when it craps on them, probably for security reasons they complain you weren't doing your job.
Show threadkauerJul 4

@kenney My brother, who gets more shit done than anyone else I know, has a saying: "If it's worth doing, it's worth doing badly".

Which I think is pretty much the same idea.

I remember asking him many years ago what the key to getting shit done was, and he said "Start."
