25th of March 2018 Recap Of Week Four

I could not edit the post anymore because I was late. Therefore I write the recap of last week as a comment.

Last week surfaced several problems. The main thing which slowed me down was the decision to move my tech stack from Hyperapp back to React and Redux. I spend lots of time solving problems which I would not have encountered had I stuck to my old tech stack.

I will stop switching my tech stack. For the time being, I will use React, Redux, and Atlaskit. The expectation is that it will slow me down for the next week or so.

I really need to fix problems users are having and not the problems I experience as a developer.

Moving forward, I also need to plan in some blocks for addressing issues I will run into during the week. Last week I spent most of the time solving problems introduced by the switch from Hyperapp to React.

Takeaways:

• Do not switch the tech stack again. Use what you know.
• Have some 20-minute blocks planned in for problem-solving.
• Focus on problems users care about and not so much on my problems as a developer.​
