Number 4 is counterintuitive. I always thought that you are not supposed to run ong running sessions. The accepted wisdom is that after 1 or 2 compactions, moving to a new session is a better idea. What Simon here is saying is the exact opposite. Iβll experiment with this
3/ Try using one long-running implementer session for the entire project. Mine routinely run for days or even weeks continuously, compacting many, many times. Compaction works now. Long sessions remember your conventions and patterns and you stop needing to re-explain things.
4/ Drive it with a persistent task list. Your job is to add vetted tasks faster than it can complete them. Itβs like shoveling coal into a steam engine. Each task should be: what to do, how to verify, proof notes once completed. The bar is: if satisfied as written, youβd trust the result. Queue as much work as you can before you stop working for the night, especially on Fridays.
