"Watching Myself Code" is a simple but incredibly good method to have self-retro sessions for self-improvements.
It might be hard to find the exact time to observe, though. Commit history could be an indicator.
I will definitely try that. Any recommendation for a screen recording tool on Mac?
- LeonB 7y agoI co-wrote a tool called TimeSnapper that has helped me perform “self-retros” exactly as described in this article. It’s on Mac now as well, though not free.
- keyle 7y agoYou know the podoromo technique did wonders for me during my crunch time on a game. Every minute counted.
- locuscoeruleus 7y agoI'm also interested in a tool like this. I think it could be very interesting to combine with a recording from a webcam as well. I know what I'm going to see if I start with this though. I'm in a disassociated state, procrastinating or avoiding thinking about work more than I do actual work throughout the day.
- duncanawoods 7y agohttps://obsproject.com/ https://obsproject.com/ is win/linux/mac and really good for this because you have a lot of options for compositing what you want to record e.g. include front-facing camera and mic which can be very revealing about body-language, facial expression and erm.. muttered expletives. If we were working with a friend and saw the extremes of body-language we sometimes display obliviously when things are not going well, we would instantly recognise them as a cry for help and step in. When alone, we are liable to just dig a deeper hole.
