cycle 2. Stage 4, day 5:
Today, I have worked under pressure. I wanted to complete a very important change and put it in operation before the time where I had to leave home to participate in an event that I have committed to come.
I did find the experiment of working under pressure interesting. I feel that this made me work faster. I wonder if it would not be possible to setup artificial deadline to trick my mind to work faster...
Bottomline, I did not succeed completing my work before leaving. It turns out that it was a good thing as it was containing defects. Having rushed to upgrade, it would have run unattended and this could have caused losses.
Yesterday evening, I was planning to complete what I left when I return but this did not work. I was exhausted and I fell asleep without being able to continue working.
One interesting event, is that I did suffer of a little bit of insomnia. A small voice kept telling me that there was something not right in the work done during the day... The intuition was indeed correct. Was that my unconscious mind collaborating to the effort? I like to think that it is the case.
This morning I have completed the task that I left unfinished yesterday but glitches have been observed in the current run. It took me the day to analyze logs to figure out what was happening. The timing sucks for that... I am so eager to launch the latest and improved version... but it did pay out to be patient. I have found what was wrong. Minor glitches in my latest pennies grabber optimization. The pennies grabber idea was great but the initial release contained glitches... It is now fixed...
So eager to try out the new version... I think that I am almost ready now...
