  • I disagree, you should start with what you want to do no matter how challenging, figure out on a high level what it takes eg what stack you’ll be using, figure out how they connect together then start at your first entree point, or in other words the one you can directly interact with, it saves you a lot of time down the road to actually have something to build to and prevents you from getting overwhelmed and you get immediate feedback which is nice.















  • Director: Blue, I need you to work on a patch for the suspension barrier, it seems to have a memory leak.

    Blue: I could if I wasn’t allocating so much time to holding together a patchy framework, if I drop it now the whole system will break, what we need to do is re-build the entire thing from scratch in a new entirely blue framework, if we did that we wouldn’t have to allocate so many resources to patch work.

    Director: that sounds like it would cost money…

    Blue: it would now but in the future it would save us so much more.

    Director: couldn’t you just work harder for less pay?

    Blue: no I literally couldn’t.

    Director: Green seems to be holding it together well.

    Blue: that is because Green is at the bottom of the stack, he doesn’t have to deal with it he makes it our problem.

    Director: I don’t know, sounds like a skill issue to me, no vacation time until it’s fixed.

    Blue: Like I even get a vacation anyway.
