S03E34 – BRB
Good morning 👋
Today I’ll be going away for four days with family on a short break. Almost a year ago, we did similar, except this time I won’t be taking the laptop. I need to disconnect, arguably for much longer and with extended family. It wasn’t possible this summer, but I’m hopeful for the end of the year. Hopefully by then, I will have stopped feeling like there’s no end in sight for any of the projects in the works. At this point, I’ll take that as I just can’t imagine shipping anything this year. In the recent absence of a predictable schedule/routine, I’ve just not been motivated at all. I’m trying my best, but the output has been mostly scraps. For example, last night I finally checked in progress on a module – after a month – that I expected to take a week to finish. And it’s still probably 40% away from completion! Software development is hard. Independent software development is lonely. I’m deep in the messy middle. A few days away will hopefully act as a springboard for the remainder of the year.
Have a great Sunday!
Best,
Bardi
