Good morning and goodbye London. I'm going back 'up north' for three weeks over Christmas this evening. I will return in 2016.
no money for three weeks!
and I'm not really slacking as I'm working on a new biz idea
Good morning.
@agile_geek: sounds good.... let me know if you need some clj devs 😉
@thomas: I need some customer first! Then a clearer idea of what problem to solve. That's what I've got various meetings set up to talk about.
my company will be your customer, providing you write it in clojure, contract out the devlopment (to my company), for >100% of the cost of your services
@agile_geek: first customers then problem ?
i suppose if you are good at persuading peeps, since everyone has problems, that could work
@mccraigmccraig: It's more about talking to ppl about the problems they have within a rough idea of what I want to do then focussing on what pain point to solve for them. No point building something no one wants.
indeed... it's always a dance. the killer feature for the app i'm working on didn't become apparent until we started talking to potential customers
Pivot!
we discovered this early enough that no pivot was required 😄
though there was some considerable requirements creep
and some extra late nights for me
damn their damnable hides
though they are starting to sound a bit like santa... has anyone ever seen santa and some requirements at the same time ?
requirements also travel at faster then the speed of light like Santa
i've been doing santa physics with my 5yr old son... we're currently reckoning that santa is some sort of self-replicating autonomous machine to avoid the heat/relativity problems... problem is, where does all the mass come from ?
and how do the santabots get merged on boxing day ?
oh, nice ! but does that mean that different santabots have different densities or sizes according to the target mass of the present ?
or are they uniform, and there is some sort of overflow shedding mechanism... an unexplained extra uncle at christmas dinner who wanders absent-mindedly away after the queen's speech or something
maybe they fly from house to house, dropping off presents, reducing their mass. And topping up on cookies and milk.
ah, that's it... and i bet calculating the optimal number of santas is NP complete
and y'all thought this was off-topic 😄
I'm out of here ldn see u next year. You've been a wonderful audience have a Happy Christmas. 👋
london - what's that but a browny smear just over the horizon ?
😄
and yorkshire is over my horizon's horizon. if i hadn't grown up near the peak district i'm not sure i would believe in it
Yorkshire is that geeny, hilly smear on my horizon..try 90 miles North of York!
