Development time


Well, I thought I am really slow when I received the design. Due date is 30th April. I received design on the 24th May, with approval that was done after that without getting informed as well. I asked for Design on the 19th April. I guess I gave them too short of a timeline but then they said they wanted it on the 30th April... From then, I received new design every one week and changes after changes, then the final design did another leap of change. I as inexperienced in this industry try to cater for that like an idiot. Change the code as they change the design. Maybe I shouldn't have compromise based on their due date but what we do have at that moment. Probably I could have done something else more important with a confirmed design. I wonder if all people in the industry is like this though. Well, this is the disadvantage of not really from this industry. I am a coder not a business person. I don't care about business but my code and how my app works. If the code sucks, imagine building a house then take them apart and rebuild and repeat. Today, you submitted a design to build a house and asked for engineer to do the building but then suddenly design not really nice, you asked the engineer to continue bulding first so we can be on time while waiting for the design. Engineer build. Designer came back with new design. Everyone cut wire here and there. Bring down a few walls and another design change. Even the foundation depended on where u want to build everything. Otherwise, you ended up with a toilet as ur bedroom. Or you kitchen as your living room.

Anyway, I am trying my best to fulfill because the guy we liased with were kind and good so, I rushed for him and hope he wasn't in trouble and we weren't in trouble. 

Aside. XAML does have building sequence. Changing the building sequence will mess up with them calling back to classes that have not been built. If I changed the order, the build doesn't exist yet and I call that element, it would throw me not found. I got that after changing the structure of front end. Just an order change... Well, now I have to put them in the order that they are not appearing on screen but based on my previous code. so grid 123 will be like 312 in arrangements.

Cuts

 I finished doing my wallet without cutting myself. I got a poke from the needle though but it was alright. Only that one time. The rest I found a way to prevent that. The cutting mat has been very useful and now it’s filled with holes. Today I got my first cut of the year. Fengshui’s problem. I was taking something from the dark corner near the kitchen sink at work. Was opening the carton for umbrella. Someone asked me to take. When I was cashier, I normally took it myself instead of calling someone unless really necessary. I have cut away the tape but the tape side sick to the wall so I pulled it and I couldn’t remember but just felt sharp pain on my left palm. My left hand gave way after the cover flipped open and the knife on the right hand slashed my palm. Sigh, I should have close it before pulling the cover. It failed to open the first time so I slide it out to cut a second time but worry it didn’t open and kept it that way. Should have trust my instinct.  I also think ...

Bank

 A bank asked me to apply for their job. I was a bit skeptical whether it was scam. After a few conversations, it seemed legit. They needed my updated resume. I didn’t have. Go back to my old canva, then dragged out the old one. I realised I have a Word document ones after I sent the pdf ones. I should have just used the Word document because it was the latest. Anyway, I don’t have finance background so I might not get it. Based on their requirements, I think there are lots of things I have not yet explored. However, if I can finish my task earlier, maybe I can go for a test or two to see what are the skills that I lacked of. I felt a bit off because I just kept on doing uwp… I also needed to back up against my current job because I felt insecure about it, based on the recent months I was there. I am not sure if they want me there just to solve few issues then once solved then don’t need me anymore. Because every moment I was there, I felt a bit like it. They are also spending quit...

Peculiar

 Not sure how I should feel. Good or bad. Mum used to be very good with tech. Well, yesterday, have spent two hours over the phone just to help her log in to my account. In the end, she only managed to download and update her Netflix app on her iPad. iPad actually a bit different from Android so she has lots of difficulty linking App Store is equivalent to Google Play… When I said search, she literally search by her eyes… I cannot help but laugh at myself. Programmer and code did the same. I am not around so I can only do these for her. Sigh… Should have gave her a tutorial during CNY…  My screen is back… The touch screen I bought previously so that it is easier for me to do work. The pc that I bought previously is a good investment in the end. Thank God or the manufacturer that both working fine so far.
