Stay within the conventions of your project and team, of course, but you should be able to recognize yours as yours. The secondary point is " Don't wallop things without checking", but the main point is that you have a style, and you should go with that style. After that, I decided that I'd like to know more about my trends than the FitBit dashboard can tell me, then put it out on GitHub, but since I had the App registered with FitBit, I stayed with it.
#XSCREENSAVER 5.18 CODE#
I wrote it in Python because I couldn't find any code (besides the Net::Twitter module) that really handled oAuth in Perl, but I did find the code in Python.
Once I had enough to tell me if it hasn't synced in a few days, I knew enough to have it tell me if the battery level was anything but high. The specific thing that caused me to develop fitbit_tools is a point where I wore my FitBit Ultra every day for several weeks without noticing I hadn't charged it recently and it was a dead dead thing. The first thing is, anybody could name a thing "Alertness Tracker". It's lots of small things, but when you realize you broke lots of small things, you feel like an idiot. The key one is called, and it checks once an hour to see if I've made more than 100 steps in that hour, and chides me if I haven't. Of course, I felt like an idiot, once I realized the FitBit tools I had built my life around had stopped working.

The others, like TicTrac and FaceBook and IFTTT, I did, but not "Alertness Checker".Īnd I found that "Alertness Tracker" is the name I put for my "app", by which I mean the connected series of programs I collect as fitbit_tools, which is the topic of the talk I'll be giving in a week and a half. I was preparing a talk on developing against the FitBit API yesterday, which lead me to look at the FitBit website, and I found something called "Alertness Checker", which I didn't recognize.
I say "You need to do this and tell me when you're done so I can go", and she acts like she's entirely waiting on me.Īnd, as this was one more side project than I can really spend time on, I don't feel I can, nor do I really want to, really get her to understand the situation. At no point was there any indication that there was any attempt to integrate the other developer's code, despite my suggestions, and at no point was I requested to ignore those coming changes and proceed. The response is, since you don't have much time to contribute, I think it's best if I find someone else to participate in this project.Īs I have said, it is not unreasonable for her to drop me from this, but I think she is really missing the boat as to what the issues are with her project. So, I explain my position, saying I'm in position where I'm technically able to proceed, but to really do anything, I need things from her. I'm expected to work on handle_addition(), but I have no idea what $x looks like because I don't have the config file, I have no idea what $y might be because I am denied access to the database and schema, and I really have no idea what changes might occur for handle_addition(). # purpose of this program is to add two numbers So, at this point, this pseudocode is a simplification of my position. I try to run it and it errors because a config file is missing.

I don't want to tar others with a brush and claim I'm spotless.Įventually, I get VirtualBox and Vagrant running, install Django and get the repo down, and I go to the "run this" file.
It's an issue I need to work on, and I own it and am trying to work through it. This takes some time to handle, time that I can't really call Alice's time, because it isn't her fault my laptop sucks.Īnd, as a personal failing, if I have nothing good to report - I'm hitting issues and not getting it, or there are days after days where I'm unable to throw time or mental energy on a project - I feel really bad about communicating no-good-news, so I go radio silence.
#XSCREENSAVER 5.18 WINDOWS#
I run a Windows laptop, because it's more about entertainment and ssh than real development, so I try to get Vagrant going and find that VirtualBox is corrupt. But I was sure that a set of changes were coming, and it seemed a poor idea to work on the code until at least the changes were merged into Alice's main.īut, after some pushing (and repeated git pulls showed no change in master), I decided to try to get things running. My primary goal for this is to justify the addition of the word "Django" to my resume, and anything else was gravy. This becomes an issue with the relationship between Alice and myself, and and I own it. Granted, on my end, I have allowed myself to become overburdened by time constraints. So, I draft an email, explaining the situation and the steps needed to get that code into position.
