Frustrations on having the world change under you....
Posted by kevin Mon, 15 Nov 2004 21:39:00 GMT
The last 6 months have been a blur. I’ve:
- adopted css
- learned ruby
- decided I really hate perl, despite having big one of it’s largest supporters in the past
- become obsessed with rubyonrails
- learned design (by following 37signals websites across the net, among others).
I’m tired! And my brain is somewhat fried. I’ve lost some of my confidence I had before, but I’m very confident that things are moving in the right direction. Having so much change so fast is difficult (i.e. I really thought THAT code was BEAUTIFUL before? Argh!)
And I’m realizing that none of these things I’ve learned are a silver bullet (to pull a term from the Mythical Man Month). Designing a complex site is still a pain in the butt. And ‘porting’ code I’ve written over the last 5 years is a huge, painful project.
Still, I’m excited for the future. I just need to catch my breath, and not be so hard on myself when things take longer than I want. Optimism can be a curse when you end up pushing yourself too hard!
Good idea...
Well at last catched the problem...
