cycle 2. Stage 2, day 19:
I have been feeling exhausted for the last 1-2 days. IDK if it is some UMS programming side-effect (ie: my subconscious resisting) or if I am fighting some sort of spring virus...
I have a small pet animal that has its health deteriorating quickly. Since last week-end, it started to have difficulty to just move. It is a generalized cancer. There is nothing that can be done to save it. Palliative treatment is pretty much the only thing I can do for it. The thing, I have been thinking since Monday last week that it was only few hours away from passing away. It is still of this world as I write this... I admire its will to live, its combative bravery... but it has been very taxing emotionally... shortening its suffering has crossed my mind but despite its condition deteriorating, it seems still happy to be here but this is hard and tough to experience... A real emotional roller coaster... and this is exhausting..
Every day that I have with it, I accept it as a gift life is giving me... Those last moments are precious...
My refactoring task is progressing. It is still slower than I wish it would go but it is progressing so as long as I work on it and it is moving forward, I guess that this is good. I have pretty much completed the changes that I wanted to perform but the changed code is in the middle of the code base so it has ripple effect all over the place and I basically have to go over almost every files to adapt the code to the new change. I wonder if there is not some sort of software that could automate much of what I am doing...
a week or 2 ago, I did stumble into a dev IDE named CLion. Its business model is different than what I am used to when I purchase software. It is based on a subscription model... It is roughly $20/month with a free 1 month trial...
I should give it a try... If it boost my productivity, that would be a real winner move...
I had a realization maybe last week or this week that I am the bottleneck of my venture. So far, this is a one man show which limits a lot what I can accomplish... I mean, on one hand, I do not care... My craft is my passion... I love what I do and I don't care to work on it from morning to evening every day but if I could reach my goals faster... that could be cool as well...
My main dilemma is how to outsource dev without giving away my trading "secret sauce"? My wealth relies mostly on the IP that have developed over the time. I start to realize that the current refactoring is a step toward outsourcing. I am designing some sort of plugin framework where my trading engine can interface with an exchange. This framework, once completed, will allows me to outsource the uninteresting and boring to develop exchange plugins for the various exchanges that I want to support. Outsourcing those plugins would allow me to onboard other developers without giving away my secret sauce...
I am surprising myself having those growing organization thougths... this is usually outside my regular thinking... I love where UMS is bringing me as I suspect that it is not stranger to this new mindset...
Yesterday, my system has finally reached the very important symbolically milestone of 1 million dollar trading volume... The celebration lasted few minutes but AFAIK, beside the symbolic success, nothing else special did happen. I was expecting FIAT pairs trading with 0 fee to unlock something but it did not...
