🛠 DX: Developer Experience

How can PlantaBeta be developped while in transit?

Learning D3.js terms

Active Recall

You can't type because the roads are often too bumpy

Meditation

I'm too tired to do anything productive on the way back.

Python

• Shrubbery.py

Content Writing

Content can be written outside of VScode, then inserted later.

Dictation

Dictation will be performed at Arch Street, so the setup is a large TV, laptop, phone

DictationError

Homonyms = {
    'cash': 'cache',
    '/': 'slash',
    'planetary': 'plantor',
    'Roland': 'RawLand',
    'Rollins': 'RawLand',
    'screaming': 'skreefing',
    'Jay root': 'Jroot' 
}

Dictation Formatting

• $ "dollar" to denote a paragraph

-

• . "dot" for period

Dictation Frase

0. SetUp Laptop with PlantaBeta open on left half and the google doc open on the right. Record the audio with your phone being held up close to your mouth.

1. Look at the Page, Tags and the PaperPhotos in DesignBox .

   • Think of something to say for each header. Say the header that you're thinking about, eg. "Subelements", "Related Elements", "Element Attributes", "Definition"...etc
   • Say period, new line,

2. Record the audio in a Google Doc until you can't think of anything else to say.

   • Make sure that you're enunciating
   • Use PlantaBeta terminology, don't worry about grammar
   • Glance at the text, but don't read it. Sometimes the recording stops.

3. Paste Raw output into VScode Parse the output by adding empty lines between parts

   • How to use Python to process the raw dictation?
   • Make each dictation into a string
     • str.replace() homonyms, AlsoKnownAs, Common Errors

4. Rephrase and correct grammar

   • Add punctuation
   • Capitalize
   • Replace homonyms

5. Insert into the body of the page, formatted according to StyleGuide

   • Replace with 'Dictation1' in Design Box after insertion (so you don't find it again in next step)

6. Search for empty design box to find the next page to dictate (there's about 360 left to go, approx 60 hours or work)

::: tip
Complete all the steps each day to refine your process. For instance after parsing today I realized that for postcedent dictations I need to create new lines and punctuation.

### PaperMine

Use images and video when describing all the Attributes of an element.

Look at a Spade while listing out all the Attributes of the spade instead of using a mental image. Concrete is less cognitively demanding. There is very little creativity when listing Attributes, they're just facts.

### TagSpaces

Use TagSpaces to

It's ok to be confused by your own work. Complex systems don't start off being coherent.

Trust your visions, just because I'm not explaining things well and I'm improvising, doesn't mean that the work is incorrect.

Work at different scopes. You're not going to be able to explain the big picture well if you don't know the details. The details are the individual pages of elements.

Coherence

Coherence is developed

the situation when the parts of something fit together in a natural or reasonable way

You're not making it worse, each workblock makes it better, deciding that what you wrote needs to be changed is an improvement. Finding out what doesn't work is a form of improvement. PlantaBeta is a really difficult project, expect to feel its difficulties!

Just get as much information out of your head and into data structures, so that they can be processed.

Differentiate(BETA, PlantaBeta)

PlantaBeta is a language

All Elements are objects

Objects have methods to solve problems and Attributes with theoretical value

a data construct that provides a description of something that may be used by a computer (such as a processor, a peripheral, a document, or a data set) and defines its status, its method of operation, and how it interacts with other objects.

"the interface treats most items, including cells, graphs, and buttons, as objects"

Model Element

Make a list of DX research models for each module

LABOR, MOTOR, ANIMA, EKOS, VIA, BETA

To make prototyping easier. So you don't need to worry about the content

researchModels = {
    'LABOR':
    'SOMA': 
    'EKOS': Stump
    'VIA': BoustroCover,
    'ANIMA':
    'MOTOR': SpadeSlam
    'BETA':
