Slugging Through a Lot of Little Updates
Today has been a big day of a lot of little things. I've got five post-it notes on my desk - each filled with little things that need to be updated in the code. There are new rules for how to handle new merchants, more rules about aggregations, different rules about when to ignore merchants… all needed to be in the code as soon as possible, and because no one thing was that horrible to do, it was possible to get all the changes in today.
Yet, while trying to get things done, taking more requests is a little frustrating. No… it's quite frustrating. But I was able to get through it all without getting really upset, which is a nice win for me.
In all, it has been a really nice day - there are a few more things I need to do, but it was a good day.
