I just stumpled upon the Cult of Done Manifesto on Hacker News yesterday and I like it. It seems like some good advice, and I sure haven’t been too productive as of late with my new job going on, so in the first act I’m releasing what I do have done for Cortex. I set up a github repo for cortex and pushed the latest code. The master branch is a slightly improved version of Cortex from where it was last year for the BCNet presentation and the modular branch is a work in progress to chop it up and make it more modular for better future extensibility. I’ve been stalled on it but as the guide suggests that may be mental and either way I should get what I have out there. Now I can more happily comfortably move on (if it’s been stalling me, which i think a little it has) or even work on it more, now with less “pressure” of some looming release ahead of me :). So there it is, Cortex.
Also, things like Febrice Bellard’s Java Script CPU emulator that can run Linux are amazing, imressive and inspiring, and make me realize I really need to to more hacking.
So here’s to getting stuff out there! I want in on the Cult of Done.
