I just spent almost 4 hours to fix DBF format to be able to upload to the new system MUIR. Four hours just because “small decision” with “playing chess” mentality. When we play chess, we try to make a move so that our opponent will spend more minutes to answer it. We try to make our opponent in miserable thinking time. Please do not bring that when we organizing chess.
Decision like;
- old URL is this, new URL is that
- old format is TXT, new format is TSV
- old name is bleh, new name is blah
- old voucher using GUID with dash, new format is straight numbers
- non technical decisions that I probably do not know
It looks simple, but it may generate hours to people who support chess, multiply by total numbers of those who need to spend extra minutes/hours to lining up with new things.
Organizing chess should be making more organizable so that our life is more simple.
