Small update

Hadn’t posted in awhile so I figured Id do a short one.

Things at work have been really busy. We finished our beta product, and sent it off to our first customers. You never remember all the things that need to be done to make this happen. Everything from shipping and boxes to serial numbers and systems in place to make that happen.

The software that I head up  is really shaping up. There are so many little things that need to come together to make this happen well, and you get so jaded when you start on it because you can plow through so much so quickly. But soon it comes down to the nitty gritty and things move at the same pace, but look much slower. But as my good friend Zack Kamen said “Applying the varnish can be 90% of the work” – And from what I have experienced, the varnish is what changes “so-so” software into great software.

I started looking at my bildr code database, and started seeing redundant information due to adding things on to it. But I didnt know how much until I took it into a visual editor and was able to see all the tables and all the fields at once. The schema helped me completely redo it into something that I hope will work much better.
