Retrospective: Week 3

‹prev | My Chain | next›

In an ongoing effort to make this chain as valuable as possible to myself (and possibly others), I perform a weekly retrospective of how the past week went (notes from last week). I do this on Tuesdays to avoid conflicts with B'more on Rails, which usually holds events then.

WHAT WENT WELL

• I learned. Some of the things I think I fully understand are:
  • CouchDB show documents
  • couchapp create / update forms
• Others seem to be finding some of this useful, which is gratifying.

OBSTACLES / THINGS THAT WENT NOT SO WELL

• Learning is hard. Writing about learning is even harder.
• I did a horrible job of limiting my output while learning (as I planned to do in last week's retrospective).

WHAT I'LL TRY NEXT WEEK

• None really, save that I try to limit my output while learning, focusing rather on actually learning.
• Do a better job, or at least be bear in mind, of differentiating in the blog when I am learning and when I think I have a real solution.
