Situation

Paulius shipped a real milestone in his own project: on 19 Aug he reported a working www.myhomemaster.org plus a separate staging domain with its own DB and an automated dev→master→server pipeline, and the commit log backs that up with 14 commits in MyHome between 19 and 25 Aug (docs, Docker/deployment config, secrets cleanup). In the same conversation he laid out next steps — LinkedIn photo and CV, some unit testing, 'finally jump in' to the group project, and a live call about project structure — and none of those have visible follow-through yet: no group project commits or messages in the 30-day window (last activity 41 days ago), nothing from him in the 1:1 since 19 Aug, and Trello still shows him on '19 - Job Hunt preparation / LI Profile' at 411 days. So the build track is moving well and the job-hunt track is the one that isn't visibly moving.

Concerns

411 days on the job-hunt/LinkedIn exercise, and the concrete steps he named on 19 Aug (photo, CV sending) have no visible movement since.
He said he'd 'finally jump in' to the group project, but there's nothing from him in the 30-day window while the rest of the team is shipping.
He asked for a live call about organising project structure and there's no sign in the signals that it was arranged.

warm nudge with a concrete hook

why this, now

Acknowledges the 19 Aug milestone he actually reported, and picks up the one thing he explicitly asked for that has no visible follow-up.

accountability check

why this, now

He named these steps himself on 19 Aug; the Trello card has been open 411 days. Direct but tied to his own words, not a lecture.

technical / group project pull-in

why this, now

Connects his stated interest in unit testing to a real, current thread on the shared repo, and gives him a concrete way in rather than a vague 'join the group project'.

Open questions

What the data does not answer.

Was the live call about project structure ever scheduled or held? Nothing in the transcript confirms it.
Has he started sending CVs or updated LinkedIn off-platform? Neither would show in these signals.
Did he start writing unit tests? The MyHome commit messages don't tell us, and code contents weren't fetched.
Is anything blocking him from picking up a RocketVideo task, or is it just bandwidth after the MyHome deployment push?

Hi, sorry for late reply, busy days. Little update, I created dev branch as in the rocket video and created staging.myhomemaster.org domain to be able to test all the functions. Both domains has separate db to avoid crashing it. Commited changes automatically updates github and loads to the server. To push from dev to master I need to create pull request, check if everything as it should and then merge dev to master, later changes pushed to server. I'll check Björns dokumentation if i miss something, but this basic thing works now. Device's qr code now navigates to device edit form as it should. So finally I have working example of www.myhomemaster.org !

CLIENT Paulius Drungilas 19 Aug 13:06
Now it is to start job search program :D Prepare LinkedIn, change picture and start to send cv. On the free time I would like to learn a little bit of uni testing. I know it is too late to make it, but still learn something and finally jump in group project as there will settle my rutin a little bit :) As well would like to have live call and discuss about organising project structure as it is chaos now :D

I need to organize with friend who is photographer, so I do not need to think about again :D

I’ll try to write them by myself and later I can show how it goes. I did as well fixed the issue with master and master 2 branches, so now all the commits are as it should be :)

This is my last comment on this driprule PR
Florian Rakete26 Aug 08:12
alex is on vacation, so we'll not wait
CLIENT Kata Gulyas26 Aug 08:15
Ok I will merge it tonight then
CLIENT Kata Gulyas26 Aug 20:54
@Florian Rakete I want to merge it but these checks have failed (i solved all other conflicts)
CLIENT Kata Gulyas26 Aug 21:01
yay what did I do? I did not even merge it yet
CLIENT Björn Nillson26 Aug 21:04
Well - this PR is a bit old no? there might be a diff between what you have and how dev actually looks now
CLIENT Kata Gulyas26 Aug 21:04
probably yes
CLIENT Björn Nillson26 Aug 21:04
So - merging dev back into your branch - dealing with the shenanigans - then it should pass
CLIENT Björn Nillson26 Aug 21:06
My comment might be a tad confusing
CLIENT Björn Nillson26 Aug 21:07
but basically you based your branch on a older dev
CLIENT Björn Nillson26 Aug 21:07
dev is now ahead
CLIENT Björn Nillson26 Aug 21:07
this may or may not be an issue, usually its not
CLIENT Björn Nillson26 Aug 21:07
so you would want to base your branch on latest dev
CLIENT Kata Gulyas26 Aug 21:07
working on it
CLIENT Kata Gulyas26 Aug 21:27
@CLIENT Björn Nillson
CLIENT Kata Gulyas26 Aug 21:28

CLIENT Kata Gulyas26 Aug 21:28
now all greeen
CLIENT Kata Gulyas26 Aug 21:28

CLIENT Björn Nillson26 Aug 21:29
