Staying disciplined, motivated and productive is all a state of mind. If it’s high on your list of goals, you will do it.
I strengthened my knowledge of a builder yesterday. It’s really a nice pattern but has one flow: it breaks SRP, but why do you use patterns? To refactor to a better design. And if used in that context, it’s a win.
I’m also learning that someone saying good things about a person, makes them work less hard. But we’re not fooling anyone. I am going to crank up the heat. Crank up the delivery heat. I expect everybody to over deliver as much as possible. For that to work, I will need big things from all of us. If you’re not delivering, then it’s a sign and you’re out. I will need to think about how to deliver the message, but it will happen.
