Eric Florenzano's Blog: Lessons Learned

  • Justin Lilly · 1 year ago
    Hear Hear! I can't tell you how many times I've had that "killer idea", but either took too long or didn't start on it... then someone rode it to a few million dollars. It makes me sad to be a procrastinator. Viva RERO!
  • Marty Alchin · 1 year ago
    I tend to do reasonably well at that philosophy when it comes to software, though I don't do so well on the "often" part. For some reason, though, I'm terrible about it when it comes to releasing sites. I've got a few things that I've been working on for ages, and I do keep waiting for them to be "perfect" before I release them. Or, worse yet, I wait for them to be perfectly planned before I even start coding.

    Great article, Eric. Although this is indeed painful I'm also looking forward to see some of the functions in djangoplugables.com. Bryan signalized the chance to incorporate our code so it's not written without cause. It should not be abandoned, IMO.
  • Eric Florenzano · 1 year ago
    That's my problem too. I code it all up but am unwilling to release it until I feel like it's perfect. That's something that I'll have to address sooner rather than later.

    Eric, you've just summed up many projects perfectly.

    I've got so many minor projects underway right now, there is a good chance none will see the light of day this side of the apocalypse. If I were to tone down what I _think_ is important, and focus on the more simplistic functions that do a complex task beautifully, launch would be so much closer and so much more exciting.

    I was working on a Django application repository but abandoned it as your project was much more complete, much more usable, and made mine look like mush. That said, what you are offering and what Pluggables is offering is different IMO. You're offering a detailed index of applications, with user interactivity. Pluggables seems to be more of a no-crap listing that shows projects, their recent activity, and a summary. For anything else you follow the link to the Google Code page.

    Perhaps both websites can co-exist, each serving a slightly different need without either of them being over-done.

    eric, once we stop learning we stop living, (deep stuff I know). All your hard work on your project should be seen as a few additional levels of knowledge not gone to waste, and the hard learned lesson of competitive ideas is a lesson better to learn now.

    like you said before - you gotta love open source. maybe the best part about this - it never hurts to throw the code up on google code and maybe help a developer learn something new by combing through your work, and it appears there's even a chance for code reuse on this new pluggables app.

    win win indeed.

    I said: Let us release right now, even if not everything works, even if there are certain use-cases we currently can't support.

    "Let it roll", I said.

    But goal was achieved, even if it wasn't the way I expected the problem to be solved. Maybe something interesting to read in addition to Patton:

    I really like the new layout: A lot cleaner and nothing got lost.

    Though I'd put some additional work in the color-scheme - you have used many very different colours which looks a bit cluttered. For example I think there are at least 5 shades of green here. 2 would have done the job just as good, I guess.

    He who hesitates is often lost. Sometimes if you get the ball rolling, you get momentum on your side and other people involved, and before you know it it's done and you didn't really have to work as hard as you thought you might.

    How are you. Misquotations are the only quotations that are never misquoted.
    I am from Uruguay and learning to write in English, please tell me right I wrote the following sentence: "Flea is the common name for any of the small, wingless, and laterally compressed flea larvae are small, cylindrical, and maggot like in appearance, with."

    With love :-), Fisk.

    I agree, it's better to get a framework up and running first, rather than trying to attain perfection. Perfection can never be truly attended, and it will be a continuously process of twinking the program to feedbacks from users.

    Other changes to the popular convertible appear to be much more evolutionary than revolutionary but there are still some significant differences that can be easily seen. The central rear brake light has been moved inboard from the lip of the trunk lid to near the rear windscreen, and the shoulder line of the Z4 has been smoothed out considerably. It also appears as if the diagonal character line just in front of the door on the current car has been deleted – though the placement of the cammo masks this area fairly well – a move that would be in line with BMW’s recent moves to unclutter the styling of its vehicles.
