It's been a while

Ever since the last update (which was almost two weeks ago) heavy programming and designing took place. During which I discovered some insights on agile development that I want to share:

  • If stuff is easy you can just go ahaed and code it and feel quick & agile
  • If stuff is complex you can go ahaed and code it - but you will get stuck somewhere tricky and get frustrated

In the end these are agile iterations. There is nothing bad with that. You just have to get used to the feeling when things don't work out because of a missing design. Then it is hard not to get frustrated but to step back and do some design - and continue afterwards with a clear vision.

In case you are a bit behind the schedule and have an excellent ass-kicker chasing you (thanks Boris) it is even harder to stop coding and think about the solution.

However I heard, that you need that special coolness to play in the first league. I am working on that!
