Evelyn Hacker

Situation

Evelyn stays responsive on WhatsApp but nothing has moved in the tooling for months: no commits by her in the 21-day window, last own commit 104 days ago, and she has been on '08 - Quiz maker' for 122 days. Twice this month (13 Aug, 20 Aug) she replied that work is busy and that she's making progress on the project/data model, most recently promising 'you will hear from me soon' — but no code has appeared and her last two pings (30 Aug, from Alexandros and Florian) are unanswered. Florian's follow-up asked her to push whatever exists, even half-finished, and then clarified 'Obviously not quiz maker, but project', so there is also an open ambiguity about which piece of work she is actually on.

Concerns

• 122 days on a single early-curriculum exercise (08) at week 29 of mentoring, with no commits in over three months, means the gap between intent and shipped work is now large.
• The pattern in the transcript is repeated 'soon' with no artifact — two commitments (13 Aug, 20 Aug) have passed without anything visible.
• Two coach messages from 30 Aug are still unanswered, so the last exchange is coach-initiated only.

Open questions

What the data does not answer.

• What is the 'project' Florian distinguishes from the quiz maker, and is that what Evelyn means by 'the project' and 'the data model'?
• Does she have uncommitted local work on the data model, or has nothing been written yet?
• How much time per week can she realistically give while work is this busy — is the current plan just mis-sized?
• Is anything technically blocking her on the entity/relationship modelling, or is it purely availability?

Evidence

• No commits by Evelyn in the 21-day window; her last own commit was 104 days ago across 5 reposGitHub
• Still on the same exercise, '08 - Quiz maker', for 122 daysTrello
• Self-reported time tracking is stale: last entry 112 days ago, '1 h quiz maker'Trello
• She is still engaging in the 1:1 and cites work pressure as the reason for slow progressWhatsApp 13 Aug ('quite busy at work at the moment, trying to get on with the project in the next days!')
• She reported working on the data model and promised an updateWhatsApp 20 Aug ('busy! But I'm working on the data model, you will hear from me soon!')
• Coaches have pinged proactively three times this month without a concrete deliverable followingWhatsApp 17 Aug, 20 Aug, 30 Aug (Alexandros)
• Florian asked her to push even half-finished work so he can help with entity/relationship decisions; no reply yetWhatsApp 30 Aug (Florian)
• There is coach-side uncertainty about which work she meansWhatsApp 30 Aug 19:58 (Florian: 'Obviously not quiz maker, but project')
