I got a lot done at work. We have some crazy deadlines this month. I recently read about Parkinson’s law, which basically says that a task will fill the time allotted to it. It is an interesting concept really. With tight deadlines I’m finding myself pushing forward at a greater pace. Today I recreated a calendar system in a couple hours. I estimated 10 for that project. I must say that a great part of being able to do it so quickly comes from the great work of others – those who wrote Python, those who wrote Django, those who provided snippets and other useful information and took the time to make it available on the internet. I often try to give back when I feel I have come across some useful information or code.
