Yesterday We got closer to shipping our art. Day by day I am appreciating that I am an artist and I lead a team of artists. And real artists ship. Ask Seth Godin. We met the client and showed him the work in progress. They seemed to be pretty pleased with the work so far. We were also quite happy to get to this point with our work, it took a while to be here but now we are in a good place.
Yesterday morning also saw my first production-geared SpringMVC work. I know understand why it is the most popular Java Web Framework. I still had some Hibernate unhappiness but nothing that a season artist like me could not solve. I am so happy to have finally freed myself from the Struts 1.x shackles. Its been a long time coming!
I was further able to set a few TODO Items on my task list this morning. and I am happy that 50% of them have been marked as complete. Oh setting it up this blog was one of them, now that is done too, I am seating at a pretty 75% of work completed on the list.
I also read and shared this interesting piece from fastcompany.com. After reading it, it felt good to be working for a startup.
My night includes a soccer match at Loftus, Mamelodi Sundowns and Lamontville Golden Arrows, yep our hoodoo team, but hey we need the points today, hoodoo team or not a draw just wont be good enough. Mushin Etrugal our hoodoo coach, coaching our hoodoo team. Yet Still We Rise.
Will update the score later!
I will also start writing the software training manifesto tonight.
