Week 3
Posted on January 30, 2009
My blog is not my diary. Some posts are blogworthy, some are not.
Anyway, I guess proress report would be appropriate, it’s been 18 days after all.
I guess so far I can divide then in three parts, first week I did not know anything, second week I was desperate and now I’m back to the comfort zone. At the begining when they gave me a project, I really did not know where to begin, I was reading source code, asking people, basically gathering all the informating I could. Then I started working towards my final goal. This was the most frustraiting part beccause I moved so slowly. So many components moving independently, some in unison some on thier own. It’s hard to create a correct static and dynamic mental models of the working system. Basic strategy was fuck aroud the system with debugger, and trace the executing to see what it does.I was feling pretty desperate, the old system was working OK, but my port was getting 20-80% success rate. And it was unreprodusable (application is multithreaded and distributed).And then the laky break. I found what caused the problem.
The third part is easy, I completed the solution, polished the details and wrote the documentation.
