Long time no post. I haven’t been sleeping well this past couple of weeks so my brain is like sponge. I’ve been filling in stubs, but somewhat slowly, for I’m tired and keep making stupid mistakes. The stubs just say Unimplemented(), which should be printing little file:line error messages, but what’s happening is the the printing code is itself calling Unimplemented() so it’s segfaulting and I have to run it in the debugger every time to see what’s missing. It’s really boring.

Some of the code I’m writing is really nasty*. Thing is, any one of these stubs could take me a week to write, and I don’t want to spend a week writing this and a week writing that and so on and so on. I’d much rather have a load of hacky awful code so I can say “this and this and this need writing, which will take me X many weeks (maybe)”. I don’t like this whole open-ended thing where there’s no way to gauge how close you are to finishing.
