What I'll Be Ranting About

Good development practices bring us quality code, confident systems, and missed launch windows. When do you refactor and when do you factor in the passing time? As engineers we need to design what is possible and capable. As programmers we need to turn imagination into reality without a physical product. As developers we need to bridge the gab between that engineered vision and the end product.

I also blog more personally over at my tumblr page.

I am available for small contracts, consultations, tutoring, and other development services. My "skills" as a technical writer are also available. If you've got anything you'd like to talk to me about or for me to see, drop me a line.

Leaving Google AppEngine

Calvin Spealman
I can use AWS and work on technological engineering issues, or appengine and work on price-ological engineering issues. :-/

Maybe I should take myself seriously when I said this. In the past few months, I've barely done any feature or bug work on JournaApp, because it takes my limited time and energy just keeping myself under quota when I'm the only user of the app. I can't keep that up and keep my sanity, and it is honestly an emotionally draining exercise. This is creating a toxin that affects everything I do, so I'm going to take it out of my life.

I don't know if I'll port JournalApp or not. I like it, it has been fun and useful, but I'll probably take project notes in Evernote from here on forward, and on paper again. I miss paper.

Same story for me. I'm working on a hobby project that may or may not catch up. But in the last few months all I did are things affecting my quota. And, it took them ages to add a python version 2.7.

For my next project I'll probably consider heroku or plain AWS, too.
