I want to learn and practice postmortems here.
From ET’s “Postmortems Help Address Causes of Errors” article:
We get a limited amount of data – in the form of known errors where we actually learn we were wrong – to help us figure out underlying errors in how we think which cause many mistakes. These data points are valuable. We should give them attention instead of trying to deal with the error and move on as fast as possible.
It would be nice to go back and look at my past posts and make sense of them. Like why I quit or got stuck. I’m pretty sure the underlying errors are still present today.
Post-Mortem about my reply to ET’s mini essay on the topic, Theory of Constraints Introduction:
The beginning of my reply:
I think the first sentence could use some commas, but I forgot how to use them on the fly.
Post mortem about why I don’t use commas correctly:
Why didn’t I use commas in that long sentence?
I think it’s cuz I remember subordinating conjunctions not needing a comma usually. I got that from a curi.us article. I also thought tho that if I wrote enough words with a subordinating conjunction then i will have to use a comma. I just don’t think about the amount of words needed.
Why remember? Why don’t you know it?
Cuz I kind of remember the rules and when the sentences get complicated, I default to not using commas at all. I don’t practice it enough consciously while making CF posts
End of Post-mortem
I thought I found a part of my reply that had too many words and I wanted to post mortem about it. I can’t find it
Post-mortem about that:
Why can’t I find the other wordy sentence in my reply?
Cuz I didn’t write down when I found it yesterday
Why didn’t you write it down?
Cuz I was tired and I didn’t think until now that I could use this topic to reflect about post-mortems when I want to.
Why can’t you find the wordy sentence now?
Cuz I couldn’t find it when I was looking for it in a quoted format. I think the quoted format left the wordy sentence out cuz I probably hid it in a post-mortem.
