My current project is a monster. It’s been running hot and cold for at least several years. Progress is being made, but now and again I face something particularly difficult, I can get waylaid. Right now I’m in such an impasse. I was moving along, making some good progress, when I turned a corner and went “oh no”. It’s like hiking a trail and you turn a sharp curve and see it gets really steep. “Ugh” That whooshing sound is the wind falling out of the sails. Right now I’m in a dead calm. But that’s ok. I have several, large subassemblies at the 85% mark, and others to work on that will slot into this thing. I have “shipped” one project. Docs, releases, installers, whole thing. Getting that polished was 2-3 months. (Calendar, these are not full time projects.) Finishing was important because I am not a finisher. I like to say I’m a framer and drywaller. Someone else needs to come in to mud, sand, paint, and trim. I’ve never worked well at that level of detail. It’s another reason I’m not very good with GUIs. Lots of detail. But, these are GUI projects. But also, I shipped my “1.0”. I do not consider it an MVP. No, it’s done. I have no real plans to go back to it. If I were to ship an MVP, that’s just an excuse (for me) to not finish it. And I did not want to leave a lingering carcass. My drive is already filled with those. So I continue to push my boulder in silence. Maybe I can release this thing next year. Waiting for the breeze to come up again.
