Situation

Sebastian is deep in his own project build (User, TripInfo, PlannedActivity classes plus test data, all committed in one session on 19 Aug) but the whole of August has been travel-broken and he's said so openly and in advance each time. Since that burst he's gone quiet on code: no commits in 12 days, and his last message on 25 Aug said Gothenburg was the last trip and then "vacations over". His open technical question - how to connect a trip to a user - got a guiding question back from Alexandros on 20 Aug and was never picked up again. Trello still shows him on "12 - Own Project - Specify Idea" after 75 days, which sits oddly next to commits that look like actual implementation.

Concerns

  • 75 days on one card with only one visible working session in the last three weeks - the pace has dropped well below what the card implies.
  • The trip-to-user relationship question was never closed out, so he may be sitting on the same blocker he had on 19 Aug.
  • He has now named his own restart point ('vacations over'), so this week is the natural accountability moment - if it slides without a nudge the August gap turns into a September one.

Drafts

Edit freely, then copy. pokAI never sends anything — you paste it into WhatsApp yourself.

accountability check on his own restart date
why this, now

He set the restart marker himself on 25 Aug, so this is his words, not pressure from us. Asking for one concrete item is more useful than a general 'how's it going' after 12 quiet days.

technical follow-up
why this, now

That question from 19 Aug was never closed and it's exactly the kind of thing that quietly stops progress. It also references his actual committed work, so it lands as specific.

warm nudge with a housekeeping ask
why this, now

Opens with genuine credit for the one real working session, then clears up the Trello/reality mismatch and the outstanding template request without turning into a telling-off.

Open questions

What the data does not answer.

  • Is the Trello card stale? The commits look like implementation, not idea specification - has the spec actually been signed off?
  • Did he resolve the user/trip connection himself after 20 Aug, or is that still open?
  • Is he back in Stockholm and off travel as of today, and what does his work schedule look like now?
  • Did the LC Summary get submitted in the requested template (Florian's 18 Aug request), and did the module 7 questions get answered?

Evidence

  • Worked in one concentrated session on project scaffolding: user class, trip info class, planned activity class and enum, plus test data generation3 commits, Wed 19 Aug 10:24-12:01 [Final_Project]
  • No commits in the 12 days since that sessionGitHub, last commit 19 Aug
  • August was travel-heavy and he flagged it himself up front: Poland, Gothenburg, plus work daysWhatsApp 10 Aug 21:08
  • He signalled the end of the interruption: 'I'll be soon going to Gothenburg this week. But after that I'd say vacations over'WhatsApp 25 Aug 21:12
  • Open technical thread left hanging: he asked how to assign a trip to each user, Alexandros answered with a steer ('what is the connection between them... define the connection first') and there was no replyWhatsApp 19 Aug 21:31 and 20 Aug 08:40
  • Working through course modules alongside the project - started module 9 videos, had questions on module 7WhatsApp 15 Aug 19:29, 19 Aug 13:04
  • Engages readily when stuck and shares screenshots/code until the issue is resolvedWhatsApp 19 Aug 13:04-21:31 exchange with Florian
  • On the same Trello card for 75 daysTrello: 12 - Own Project - Specify Idea

  4. RAK Alexandros Kapniaris 10 Aug 21:26
    thanks for letting us know
  5. CLIENT Sebastian Backevall 13 Aug 11:35
    Hey! I’m going back to Sweden today and tomorrow I’ll be working. But for the weekend I was wondering what would be a good way to start with the project? (Sorry for asking this now)
  6. CLIENT Sebastian Backevall 13 Aug 11:37
    But is it with, for example, objects? Like:
  7. RAK Alexandros Kapniaris 13 Aug 16:10
    yeah. you can identify all the basic entities that you have on your code and decide what is the first feature to start. if you start for example with the user's profile page, you can start with defining the user.
  8. RAK Alexandros Kapniaris 13 Aug 16:10
    is everything clear related to the next modules of videos? have you started watching them?
  9. CLIENT Sebastian Backevall 15 Aug 19:29
    I have some questions regarding the 7th module actually:

    Hey! I started to watch the first video of module 9 and wanted to try and generate some test data. And I tried by doing like Florian does in the video but for me it’s just showing errors. I have commited and pushed everything

    of course you also need to make a "User" class
  17. Florian Rakete 19 Aug 13:16
    and make sure they are in the same namespace, otherwise you'll need to do a using statement in the beginning of the file
  18. CLIENT Sebastian Backevall 19 Aug 14:17
    The user class was already created tho, and they’re both in the same namespace
  19. Florian Rakete 19 Aug 14:36
    CLIENT Sebastian Backevall Photo
    you drew over the interesting parts - is your class public and not static?
  20. CLIENT Sebastian Backevall 19 Aug 14:45
    User:
  21. CLIENT Sebastian Backevall 19 Aug 14:46
    But if I change public static class TestData to just public class TestData there are less errors
  22. Florian Rakete 19 Aug 14:51
    the testdata can / should stay static
  23. Florian Rakete 19 Aug 14:52
    only your data objects can't be static, otherwise you can't instantiate them (new xxxx())
  24. Florian Rakete 19 Aug 14:53
    ah im just blind haha, you wrote your code (new user etc) into the class definition part
  25. Florian Rakete 19 Aug 14:53
    this code needs to go into some method, only methods can have executable code
  26. Florian Rakete 19 Aug 14:55
    something like this
  27. CLIENT Sebastian Backevall 19 Aug 21:31
    Ok I tried doing it in Program.cs instead…Now, how do you think I should assign a trip to each user??
  28. RAK Alexandros Kapniaris 20 Aug 08:40
    what is the connection between them? I mean think of how you were adding answers to the question object. is kind of the same thing.
  29. RAK Alexandros Kapniaris 20 Aug 08:40
    but you want to define the connection between them firtst
  30. Florian Rakete 25 Aug 08:46
    @CLIENT Sebastian Backevall hey there, what's the status?
  31. CLIENT Sebastian Backevall 25 Aug 21:12
    Hey! I came back to Stockholm late yesterday and today I worked all day. I’ll be soon going to Gothenburg this week. But after that I’d say vacations over
