Mistakes

I respect mistakes as a useful tool for learning and improving a skill. We never get it right the first time. So here's where I'll document my failure and hopefully learn along the way.

Finally making a decision to go RoR

After a lot of back and forth, I’ve decided that my big project is going to be built on Ruby on Rails.  Sure, I could stick with PHP and whip one out relatively quickly. But the quality of my mistakes would be a lot lower than with working with a whole new language and framework.  Quality mistakes are what this site is all about, so I might as well go Big.

Next thing on my list is to set up milestones.

Lessons from last night’s back and forth:

  • Most PHP script packages are horrible.  I can’t say too much about the backend, but the front end is usually atrocious.
  • Neuro association works.  I found myself feeling ill when I looked at a WordPress admin.  This is mostly because of a bad experience with it (and the worst client in the world)
