So many times I've found myself in trouble after developing a generic solution to a very specific problem!

#buildinpublic

Sometimes I think that my best code is the one I haven't written.

And trust me, the code I do write, is really good.

There will be four types of people who will use Osm Admin: power users, developers, vendors and contributors.

Let's think what they need to know before using the product:

It's July already, and I feel that summer finally starts for me. On one hand, better late than newer. On the other hand, it means a lot less time for coding, and more time for reflection.

Let's start with a backlog vs roadmap.

Osm Admin:

👍Now works on GitPod remote development machines!

👍It makes contributing to Osm Admin and projects based on it a breeze - just start a remote machine, develop and test there, and submit a pull request!

I like that now in Osm Admin, all tests pass, and CLI and UI work as expected.

Let's keep it this way.

From now on, all major development will take place in feature branches.

Osm Admin:

👍Yay! After implementing invalid data conversion, I finished the iteration #18 dedicated to diff-based migrations!

#buildinpublic

I must say, it's a bit disturbing to implement the same thing for the third time. Still, the goal is to get it finished, and have it sustainable.

After the effort, Osm Admin code has become su much easier to read!

Osm Admin:

👍I continued working on property diff algorithm that plans all the migration details.

#buildinpublic

Osm Admin:

👍Yesterday, I finished implementing data conversion for `int` and `string` property types.
👍Then, I started refactoring it.

#buildinpublic

osm.software/blog/22/05/dat…

Osm Admin:

👍I continued solving data conversion issues (4 solved).

#buildinpublic

osm.software/blog/22/05/dat…

Osm Admin:

👍I finished implementing `string` property migrations.
👍Migrations have got a meaningful log explaining what migrations take place, and why.
👍Along the way, I fixed numerous issues.

#buildinpublic

osm.software/blog/22/05/dat…

Osm Admin:

👍Yesterday, I finished writing `int` property migrations. True, testing it is still a todo.

👍The major part of the code (type change, nullability and other attribute handling) will be reused in other property types.

#buildinpublic

osm.software/blog/22/05/dat…

Osm Admin:

👍I refactored `Property::migrate()` using additional `Migration` classes. It's so much more convenient!

👍New code structure already handles property explicitness changes.

If you are doing something for the first time, don't be afraid to experiment.

#buildinpublic

Osm Admin:

👍After enumerating what kind of changes can happen to a property, I started implementing the most hard one - changing property type.

My latest post about planning projects in terms of problems to be solved rather than hours to be spent.
