    copied!<p>I was wondering how you guys actually develop large applications when you are your own boss. For myself I have been learning the hard way the necessity for patience and hope. I have been working on implementing an application (in the form of a series of scripts linked to a database) that clusters wikipedia articles using a combination of knowledge of wikilinks and article text/content. I have been at it for two years now; no results yet.</p> <p>I cant seem to get any results for I am continuously reengineering my scipts and db due to changes in either the essence (pseudo-pseudo code, the theoretical algorithm) or form (script, threads, db tables, the practical algorithm) of the algorithm. Basically, I find myself continuously learning from the mistakes I discover while implementing; the devil being in the details, so are the answers it seems. </p> <p>Anyway, every time I reengineer a script or a table or something, I need to scrap all my documentation and script. I am now able to do this without fear, but it has made me hate programming (I hate the details). </p> <p>I feel that reengineering is the way to go since I am thinking long-term and I wish to learn fast, but I am wondering if you guys have a similar programming experience or if you never really need or choose to have a better script come out of the death of the last one (like a phoenix). </p> <p>The hardest part for me is scraping my documentation for I spend more time documenting than coding; I use documentation as a means to discuss issues and consider solutions; I use it to formulate implementable solutions. While if it would be but for me, I would not mind scraping it, yet I always write it as if it were to be published the next week for while developing a script, I also seek to develop myself; I also try, like those of you who participate to this website, to share my knowledge or wisdom with others.</p> <p>Anyways, I have been developing at full speed these last 2 months, reengineering countless essays, scripts, tables, etc; my patience is running low for I seek results. </p> <p>Any tactics, any help, any experiences or anecdotes you wish to share?</p> <p>Thanks for your consideration!</p>
