I've gone into nearly every weekend since January telling myself, I'm going to finish my already started blog posts this weekend and push them to the web. Well, it never happens.
Tonight I saved myself the future stress and simply deleted what I had begun writing, in many cases, from late 2009.
The craziest thing to me, in reading my half-written posts, is seeing how far I have come since last fall as a developer. I have read so many books either again (The Pragmatic Programmer) or for the first time (Domain Driven Design by Eric Evans) that have changed how I view software development and how I view previous choices I made in my career. Had I made the effort to really understand more years ago, I'd have experienced a lot less friction in certain jobs, but that's what life is all about, I guess. Learning from mistakes and not repeating them… as often.
From here on out, no more pooling unfinished posts. I'm going to just throw out more raw notes on what I'm working on and go from there. I spend too much time making things "perfect". I know my writing isn't great but it is not going to get any better in hiding. Right?
Until the next post, go check out the books mentioned above and a couple others I have really enjoyed over the past few months. The link goes to my list on Amazon.
