This was very enlightening for me.
But I wonder if it wouldn't be better if it were something like a ncurses list with checkboxable list items which one would progress trough.
Take a checklist for a pilot for example. Wouldn't it be not as good if the next item on the list only appeared after an item has been checked? It could be beneficial if you could peek a couple of items down the line in order to group your actions or get a better overview of the overall task.
"Do I put the water for the coffee in the microwave now or do I first finish this quick item and let the next long-running item start before I go and make my coffee?"
- slightwinder 5y agoPresenting one task after another has the benefit to enforce a focus on it. Planing ahead is fine, but can be also distract or even mislead.
- glacials 5y agoYou lost me at ncurses. IMO this idea works because the task is so simple no one would bat an eye at the thought of doing it. All it takes is one person to question why we're not using <technology> instead, or why we're not spending this ncurses amount of effort towards something else instead, to jeopardize the effort.
- hollasch 5y agoI think this would be a great idea if the intent was a checklist that would never be automated. If the idea is to create a scaffold for future incremental automation where tasks start falling off the checklist (until ideally none are left), then I'd rather start with that framework instead.
