Maximizing Productivity
summary
Organizes workflow so coding time outpaces busywork and claims concrete results: over 40 projects in six years averaging about six to seven weeks each, tools automated to save minutes and days. Uses autotest to run tests continuously, heckle to find missing tests, and hoe to package and produce releases in five minutes. Keeps changes tiny, prioritizes tests and small releases, pairs via ping‑pong, and treats bug tracker and automation as maintenance muscles that actually work.
