Has it's ways.
After a week lying in bed for most of the day, reading Harry Potter books and trying not to think about anything, I'm now beginning to think again.
[I've never read any of the Potter books before, sort of a personal block; I remember JK sitting on the school-stairs writing into her notebook, one of the books that I've just read mayhaps? She was waiting for Jess; Jess who should have been playing chess! ]So it's back to my JavaScript Integrated Development Environment. The sodding nuisance of the thing is that I can see that it's possible. Not for me maybe, but it is for a team of programmers, there we are talking doddle.
Actually that's a two-way lie: I can do it and I think that a team of programmers would mess the thing up. So what to do?
Realistically I can't do the whole thing myself, I can pretend that I can... or can I? I could probably decide upon an architecture and then throw it open to the wolves. Should I?
That's the trouble with Open Source: your vision will be stolen from you. Which might be right, but feels wrong for you personally; they've robbed your soul. So, this one's mine, if I have to spend thirty years doing it and if it's only, or not even, useful to me...
I'll get started with the text editor stuff shall I? [Out with the big sheets of paper.]
