At a colloquial meeting Tue, 3 Dec 2019, of Leo, Florian, Robin, and Markus in St. Pauli, we shared some experiences about process documentation in and outside of science. We decided to make a small list how this can look like, just giving examples and how it worked for us. Please add below with your names indicated:

On my agenda for that day (2.12.2019) I had a couple of points. The first one on the list appeared to me like a 'quick-to-solve' problem. I wanted to cut a long video in strips of equal length. That was my task and it was already part of the process that I decided to use python to tackle the task. Of course it turned out monstrous and took me 5 hours rather than half an hour. Before I embarked on this agenda point and thus before I knew about the time it would take me to reach a satisfactory outcome (of course I only knew after I reached it), I decided to track my steps and some of my thoughts as I went along. I tracked this process by means of an itemized list on an open office document. Eventually I filled 10 pages with 39 items. Here it is: pythonissues.odt — Leo 2019/12/05 15:27
