Today's goal is the same as yesterday's and all days prior.
- Eliminate a mountain of annoyance so I can actually accomplish something before 17:00
@matigo I used to have the same intensity. I still do to some extent but I've learned to channel it or direct it to times when I am alone.
People know that when I am in deep you do NOT open my office door unless something is on fire or coughing up blood. This is why I can't do the heavy code at work.
@matigo People have made the joking comparisons to autism where that sort of thing is concerned but I think there's a lot of truth to it.
@matigo That used to make my wife furious. It also made her family think I disliked them as I would always bring notes, a laptop, etc to longish family gatherings. They get it now.
It's not something you LIKE to be doing. It just happens and you grab it while you can. At least that's how it works in my case. Once you enter the zone. You don't come out for weeks or sometimes months at a time.
@matigo I get irritated by, "Take some time off. Don't go into the office.". People simply do not understand that this has no off switch.
@matigo From the sounds of things, your genius team of 12 would not survive a week working for me.
No code reviews?
How quaint. I hope your company doesn't move large sums of money with their code.
This looks like a problem that I will sleep on. Which is bad because it means I will wake up every 45 minutes all night long.
There's no way to make programming NOT a 24/7/365 job.
It's vexing when I complete a solid bit of logic then close my eyes and visualize the possible security issues…and bust through it seconds.
I hate handling financial data.
