Working Hard on Second Phase of Touchy App Expansion
Today I started the laborious process of adding more than a dozen new calculated fields to this somewhat shaky web app that I've inherited. It's working, and that's the best and worst of it, really. If it weren't working, given all the improvements that I've made to the system, then there would be a greater push to replace it with something that's really much better. But it's running. Yet it's barely running, and that means that working on it is exceptionally uncomfortable.
But it's something I have to do, and so today I started the multi-day process of adding more calculated values to the system. It's going to take a few days to get it all done, but as long as I'm slow and methodical about the additions, I'll be able to do this pass nearly error-free, which is going to make it a lot easier.
Not fun, but no one asked me if it was going to be fun.
