Episode notes

Follow the narrator as they tackle challenges in managing their schedule to prioritize building software amidst interruptions from calls, podcast responsibilities, and customer interactions, highlighting the importance of reconfiguring one's schedule for dedicated development time.

Earlier this week, I finally found time to work on a large code change. When I deployed it, things got worse quickly. Here's what happened, why it happened, and how this changed my approach to working on a complicated software project.

One thing became apparent: while it may look like a waste of time to build something and revert back to "yesterday's version", I got massively interesting insights into my product and my process along the way.

So today, we'll talk about setbacks, getting back up again, and how we can judo a failure into making progress.
