well just for the hell of it; and because I'm feeling worn..
anybody else find the following true when you're a developer?
- frequent bursts of side-tracking onto more interesting subjects
- vast amount of inhuman focus, followed by inability to remain focussed
- general tendancy to keep taking on projects, often for no good reason
- inability to flip out of work mode at 5pm like the rest of the world
-- [sub] not feeling normal unless worked you've extra; while other
professions demand overtime as little as an extra 15 minutes
- constant learning (positive thing)
- unlimited skill scope, if its on a computer you'll give it a go
- amazing ability to prioritise (the wrong things)
- all projects suddenly become uninteresting and all motivation is lost at
approx 65-85 percent completion
- the code seems more important than the app (even though its not)
- lots more but lost interest / focus
Every day of my life.
Particularly the loss of interest and motivation at 65-85 percent!
ps:
expectantly installed windows 7 over the weekend, brief moment of
excitement coupled with the thought "i wonder what it's like"; anticlimax +
reality check, it was just a taskbar, start menu and desktop.. you'd think
I'd know by now.
regards :-)
i so have more important things to do
