Ugh, when working on my various projects, I keep asking myself. Is this really necessary? As the answer, unfortunate for me who is impatient and wants to hurry through these things, is yes, they are necessary. The reason why I am doing this is because I want to really build in more quality than you get from the stock commodity solutions on the market. That means I’ve got to put more effort into adding quality into the things which are currently just being sosld as-is on the market for a lower quality, albeit at a much higher price.
Really? Well, I mean, you get the solution faster, but to you, it comes at a higher monetary price over a shorter period of time, all at a over level of quality than would be possible had you designed your more expensive solution first, expensive in terms of your time though not in terms of your money. I mean, come on, what is your unpaid free time worth? Substantially, you’d be led to believe that it is worth zero, because you are being paid zero. And that’s why it’s cheaper because it’s not worth as much on a monetary scale. When not many people care about high quality solutions, often times it doesn’t pay to try to build more quality into a product than the ones the market already seems to be satisfied with, but are of a lower quality.
So, here is the dependency graph of some of my high priority projects that I am in some way working to move forward.
