Though it's often interesting to note the similarities between writing code and writing a story, I don't think it applies here. <br /><br />This story wanted to be told in 2nd person. I don't know if code "wants" to be written a certain way. <br /><br />And for the record, a well-written 2nd person story is unbeatable, so sometimes it's worth the risk.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01284811058514723425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-413380584012798054.post-723968285555554482011-04-21T20:17:28.990-05:002011-04-21T20:17:28.990-05:00A an engineer, I sometimes get wrapped up in the c...A an engineer, I sometimes get wrapped up in the cleverness or elegance of a design, instead of the project. A quote I come back to quite often comes from Jamie Zawinski of Netscape fame:<br /><br />“At the end of the day, ship the fucking thing! It’s great to rewrite your code and make it cleaner and by the third time it’ll actually be pretty. But that’s not the point—you’re not here to write code; you’re here to ship products.”<br /><br />I end up wanting to try things like Remote Objects and COM+ because its interesting as an engineer. Even though it isn't the best way to complete a project. It doesn't necessarily help me ship the product and meet the deadline. <br /><br />Is the "2nd person challenge" because it is interesting to you as a writer? Or because it makes it a better story for the reader than 1st or 3rd person?Engineerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02570242363670103056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-413380584012798054.post-70225765433239225412010-10-26T12:38:29.867-05:002010-10-26T12:38:29.867-05:00f1rst p0st!

Several Times per week? Several times per month? Or just when the mood strikes.Engineerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02570242363670103056noreply@blogger.com
