Pre-Sprint 5: The 5th Wheel Wow, has it really been 5 weeks already? That is pretty nuts. What’s even crazier is that I’m actually filled with pride – not self-loathing! – at the work I’ve been able to do in that time. I’m starting to think this might actually work. Anyway, let’s take a look at […]
Pre-Sprint 4: Retrospective
Overview Man, I got a *ton* done this sprint. Lots of dev work. Lots of porting previous prototypes into a more finalized design. Refactoring. A whole bunch!
