The Done Undone
working on this?!” is what Ido, a senior engineer who worked on my team at RapidAPI, used to frequently say out of deep frustration. I can truly relate. I remember when I was working at Wiser, we were constantly getting more work and work done without an end in sight. Another component to code, another feature to deliver. But even after a perfectly done execution, a week or two afterwards a Change was needed. It could have been just a small bug to a specific client. Or that we haven’t entirely 100% resolved what the company is still continuously trying to resolve. The need is not yet fulfilled. We merely thought we were done with it, but we never were. And we never will. Let’s talk about how Tasks are born and die.
