What is being built, and what it has to prove

Every project here is at one of a few stages, and the stage decides what it owes. A bet owes a claim and a date. Something live owes objectives with numbers attached. The thresholds are set before the measurement, not after, which is the only thing that makes any of the numbers below worth reading.

Live Is it working for real people?

Enginery

When I ship small software alone, I want each thing to reach people without needing my presence, so that building is not the only part that works.

Italian

When I have family in Italy and school-grade Italian that has gone quiet, I want to know which words I actually hold, so that practice aims at the gaps instead of the whole language.

Live Is it working for real people?

Pet Med Reminder

When my pet is on a medication schedule I keep half-remembering, I want the dose either logged or clearly missed, so I stop reconstructing last week from memory.

Show Notes

When I have subscribed to more podcasts than I will ever listen to, I want the episodes I skipped to come back as something I can read in two minutes, so the backlog stops being a debt.

Everything else

Shipped, steady, or not yet committed to

These have no scorecard on purpose. Objectives on a tool that two people use, or on an idea nobody has committed to building, measure nothing except whether someone felt like writing objectives.

Work Context Protocol Steady Is it still up and still used?
Vine Trails Building Will it ship, and will anyone use it?
The Short List Steady Is it still up and still used?

Why the bad numbers are still here

A threshold published before the measurement cannot be moved afterwards without everyone seeing it move. That is the entire point, and it is the reason the red rows stay red on this page instead of being rewritten into something kinder. A small number sitting next to a target set in advance says more about how the work is run than a polished summary ever could.
