Not sure if this thread should be in Life1 or here . But I just feel that more people would be able to relate to it over here . So yea
anyways , recently I found out that I have developed this habit of switching between technologies totally based on their awesomeness . Lets suppose I thought of a web project and now when it comes to deciding a technology I am never content . I start thinking of coolness of each of them and so is different ways of designing the project . Means I might start with simple PHP and then think of some framework like Yii and then think no I should just use plain Ajax with Jquery , and when I look in to this I think why not GWT and Java , and then I think so it might be a lot of work , and I should think of developing a comprehensive module for Joomla and just customized it and get over with this project .
Confusing isn’t it . You must have been in similar situations , and you might have different thought process like I do . One thing I know for sure that I have to organize my design process/thoughts , but how ?
any comment is appreciated , I think I just wanted to let it all out
This is why it is all the more reason to do so for personal projects, because there is no supervision and you get distracted easily.
The fist sign of this distraction is your assertion that it is not easy. If it is easy in office projects why is not easy for personal projects ?
Mirch I think its because there you are not the only one making choices . In office everyone sit and decide on something and stick to it . But I do understand what you are saying . May be I should start having personal meetings with my self and come up with one technology after looking in to all the pros and cons , and then stick to it .
If you feel that you can’t stick to it if its just you then involve others in it. You have me on IM, tell me about the project and I’ll keep asking you for status updates. That’s the same way people get on weight-losing plans. Once you know you are answerable to another you tend to follow through.
