It‘s unbelievable the detours you have to make in programming sometimes, especially in the early days of a project. Just when you think you have the architecture well and truly figured out, you realise there is this other very important part you just absolutely have to refactor. Sometimes it really feels endless. You find yourself doing a refactor while doing a refactor.
And then you finally tie up all the loose ends, and a whole lot of other small bits and pieces and fixes you had to do along the way, and you are exhausted, and you are right back exactly where you were 24 previous, when you realised you had to do the refactor. You can finally really start the original thing you set out to do! But it‘s 1:37am and you are spent.
