What went well last week?

To be honest, last week was a bit rough. Regardless, I got a PR submitted, and enjoyed reviewing @kgodey 's much-needed reorganization

What could have gone better over the past week?

I realized too late that I was out-of-sync on what needed to be done for implementation of our custom money type. This resulted in a lot of work going into something that isn't currently needed.

Are there any improvements you'd like to suggest?

More vigilance from me w.r.t. what precisely is to be implemented.

Does your workload for this week look okay?

I'm currently a bit behind due to the money type mix-up. However, I think once I get that type sorted the others are much quicker/simpler to implement.

The following milestones are due soon:

• 05. Editable Tables is due on Wednesday (the 15th).

• 06. 2021-09 Stability is due next Thursday (the 23rd).

  Are there any dependencies or blockers that will prevent these being done on time?

I'm quite concerned about the progress of Milestone 06, but don't have any dependencies or blockers to mention.

Nothing comes to mind. I'll update if it does.

What went well last week?

Did not go as well as I hoped it to. I got work done on different aspects but the progress on the milestones was static. Overall the week can be summed up to: PR for store reorganization is submitted, reviewed multiple frontend PRs (still more to go), interviews/hiring sync.

What could have gone better over the past week?
Are there any improvements you'd like to suggest?

I discussed this with Kriti, and we agreed that it makes more sense to keep the scope of each issue/PR small enough be able to complete in a day or two.

The deadline for 5 is already crossed. I'm trying to wrap it up as quickly as possible. I expect it to be complete by Monday.

Milestone 6 has a lot of issues on the frontend, including setting up the integration test environment. I do not think we will be able to meet the deadline for it.

What went well last week?

Not a good week. Views took longer as I had to think through full flows rather than just isolated parts. Couldn't think about how users learn about tables vs. views yet.

What could have gone better over the past week?

I think I should have discussed the issues before starting a bit more in-depth.

Are there any improvements you'd like to suggest?

Not for now, I think the discussion should solve the problem described above.

Does your workload for this week look okay?

Yes. I plan on opening a final review for milestone 7 last issue and start with UI revamp
