Although from today it’s supposed to be rainy for a couple of days
we’ve had sunshine till now which made us buy a barbecue and actually
barbecue a lot for lunch since it’s a) tasty b) fast c) easy d) fun!!

So our one-week-Atkinson-diet gave us super-coding-energy and
we’ve made great progress on our new system:

The backend now is what we call our elegant potential giant in the
embryo stadium meaning we’ve constructed the framework and
some of the logic and structures, but that it still needs to be filled
with AI and data.
But still I am very satisfied with it, when I look and think about it, it
gives me the same sensation as when I discover or read a very elegant
mathematical proof, one of those that Paul Erdős would have called
“one from His Book”, the idea of god having a book with the best and
most beautiful mathematical proofs.
When I think about Erdős, this one thing that his friend said to him
always comes to mind: “a mathematician is a machine for turning coffee
into theorems”, so analogous to that you could say that
“a petsi is machine for turning bbq-ed meat into code”

The frontend is also coming along well, we’re programming in the new
Flex 4 beta, a great new framework which is much more ingenious than
the previous Flex 3 but not really finished, I guess it’s a transitional
version and the finished new framework will be Flex 5.
Anyways it’s much fun to program our new interface as well as some
really good new communication mechanisms between back- and frontend
that we have thought up.

So let’s hope that our progress will not slow down despite the weather
preventing us from bbq-ing
