There had been a couple of past occasions when I put aside related coding tasks, daunted with the magnitude and not quite sure where to begin.<BR/><BR/>One day recently I was reading up on Agile methodology and came across a quote from one IT manager who said words to the effect that "My success lies in the fact that I only hire people that produce code. That they produce it consistently." This made me realise the error I was making and got rid of my writer's block.<BR/><BR/>I simply started writing code. If it is wrong, I will chuck it and rewrite it. I never hesitated at rewrites in the past when needed. If it works then I am at least making progress daily. There is no way I can absorb every aspect of this undertaking until I have moved some distance down that path anyway and I am quite sure I will delegate storage and infrastructure decisions no matter what I do. I definitely can't be an expert at everything and I still can't dance but hope springs eternal.<BR/><BR/>Regards, <BR/><BR/>Dave H.DHorsehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04119496017020035651noreply@blogger.com
