Come on, who is going to believe that I would have to spend a FULL YEAR on this?
;)
The reality of my work is more complex than "he is working on the ARM version".
I'm doing several things at the same time. Some tasks take a long time because
the amount of automatic testing is huge compared to the amount of actual
programming work. Some tasks take a long time because there is human testing
involved and the quality of the testing is worth the wait. Some tasks take a
long time because I'm waiting for something before I can go ahead. Some tasks
take a long time because of the innovating nature of the concept behind them
(and they could take forever or could be ready next week). Some tasks take a
long time because I can work on them only when I'm not busy with the other
tasks.
In short: I'm very busy with several different "things" and I do not want to
reveal what these things are exactly. You will not find any word about them in
my recent CCC posts, sorry.
