I know it has been a while since my last post. Things have been going faster than I could have hoped for. Oh wait, did I really just say that and mean it? In a sick and twisted sort of way, yes.
In the last six months, things at work have progressed to an outright runaway train. Projects are due more quickly than we have time to think about and the pace is insane. So why do I like it? I can't say for sure, but it seems like the more "progress" we make in the department, the better I feel about work overall. The downside is that my home/family life suffers greatly so this can't be something that lasts for too long.
In a way, I think developers thrive on the deadline and delay what can be delayed even to the detriment of a project. The delays are the days that a person just can't get into the groove. I read a recent article passed along to me by another developer. This article drives the point home to an extreme I don't quite agree with, but the overall point is very visible. Take a read of Joel Spolsky's "Fire and Motion" if you have a few more minutes.
Cheers!
