ConfusingCodingSituations - forever work in progress

Join us for our next confusing coding situations where we share our unfinished, stored, failed, slowly forgotten projects — those bits of code, ideas, and experiments that never reached the finish line. Instead of focusing on polished results in a world that constantly pushes for efficiency, quick solutions, and relentless productivity, we will take the time to appreciate the value of the unfinished and embrace the rhythms of the creative process—the pauses, false starts, and unexpected directions.

We’ll explore this idea through the concept of "crip time," which invites us to slow down, rethink progress, and honor the messy, non-linear nature of creation. Crip time resists the idea that productivity is the ultimate measure of value, reminding us that there is worth in the incomplete and the unresolved. This is part of a counter-narrative that questions the very culture of efficiency.

We’ll begin with a short reading that critiques the obsession with efficiency and invites us to consider different ways of thinking about time.

Bring your unfinished projects and stories!
