Notes

I managed to make some progress on the refactor of the RSS feed generation code yesterday. Lots of head winds from some very sparrowy sparrow people. In fact I suspect they might have actually been tigers acting as humand acting as sparrows, which sounds kind of insane, but there you go. You can sense the tiger pounce all the way through to the sparrow layer. It’s the most deviously passive aggressive thing ever, you have to constantly be chaging your approach to things. It’s virtually impossible to make progress, but it’s possible if you code quicky but adding placeholders for the bits you don’t know yet. I say quickly, and in a sende it is, but you end up wasting much more time than you save long term, because everything ends up feeling like you are walking on egg shells. It’s very difficult to describe.

Anyhow, I got the main logic outline written. I need to go back over it and fill in the missing detail.

It’s a bit cold this morning. I’m quite hungry. The weather looks like it might be clear skies. #
