T-2

Polish. Compile. Unit test. Publish to test server. Unit test. Rinse. Repeat.

Polish. Compile. Unit test. Find bug uncovered by polish. Fix bug. Compile. Unit test. Find other areas with the same bug. Refactor fix so that code can be better used between sections. Compile. Unit test. Publish to test server. Unit test. Rinse. Repeat.

Polish. Compile. Unit test. Think of some goofy corner case that you never thought of before. Test for corner case. Fail corner case. Refactor code to handle corner case. Compile. Unit test. Publish to test server. Unit test. Rinse. Repeat.

Load test. Notice odd issue between load balanced servers and backend server. Diagnose. Test fix on load balancer.

Take a break. Visit the Shack. Check E-mail; feel bad that there are over 300 unread messages. Check the automated error E-mails. Wonder why the wife called you and complained that her keyboard's "N" key broke.

Polish. Compile. Unit test. Publish to test server. Unit test. Rinse. Repeat.
