I did far more work than usual and now my product lead is going to expect this to happen every sprint. They'll be so disappointed.

- muh_gradle 4y agoInteresting. I fell into a hopeless pit of despair and got far less work done as a result. I need my soma fix.
- ghetzel 4y agoFinish the tickets, but don't close the tickets ;)
- haggy102 4y agoThis is the way
- ezekg 4y agoI used to feel really bad about this until I learned a lot of other programmers do the same thing. Work hard and fast for a little while when you’re motivated, relax a lot when you’re not.
- dieselgate 4y agoAnd hope you’re more motivated than not?
- ezekg 4y agoYeah, more or less. I have to find ways to kickstart motivation. Probably why I like owning my own business. xD
- owl57 4y agoIsn't this the standard practice? :) I developed the habit to announce all changes in my service on Slack when deploying to production, even seemingly invisible ones, and that helps not to forget the tickets after writing the code. But team lead still finds some finished but unclosed ones on each backlog GC run.
- cosmotic 4y agoJust explain that it's unsustainable regardless.
- fnordpiglet 4y agoOh no. Your burn down chart won’t look right. They’ll crucify you for that and ask you to explain it for sure.
- messe 4y agoSame. It's probably just a coincidence though. Because if it weren't, I'd have an addiction I'd need to confront.
- Sakos 4y agoI was so productive I managed to finish the work inside of a day that I've been having trouble with the past two weeks. Maybe HN should have planned blackouts? :D
