Scratch

I’ve stopped giving myself a hard time for having wandering interests and not finishing anything.

I try to look at it more as I’m having fun researching and implementing things, that’s what hobbies are for.

Trying to force myself to finish things really sucked the fun out of them. Now I have literal and figurative buckets for each project so I can easily put down and pick up projects.

I find myself moving between fewer projects and putting more effort into them than I would have before.

I do keep some buckets closer than others, so I’m more likely to pick those up when I have free time;

Drawing

Designing fidget toys

Electronics project C

But modern shareholders have a policy of jumping on the AI bandwagon. Line must go up!

For me, I’ll hop onto a new git branch and start renaming functions and variables to what they actually do.

I might drag some blocks of code out into new functions, just a real rough refactor to get both the flow and my understanding of each block in place.

Big if conditions get their own function, named what the intent is.

I work in Xcode, so we can add extra context to breakpoints. I recently discovered the bookmarks that are built in, and you can annotate them too!

Make a change, start from the top and make sure it reads ok and still makes sense.

It’s eating an elephant on repeat.
