Step #3: Stretch

Take your clear overall goal from the previous step and identify the next logical chunk of work (we’re talking about a chunk that can be accomplished in a small number of sessions, whereas the overall goal might take weeks to complete). When you tackle this chunk, push for a result that is beyond — but not too far beyond — what’s comfortable for your current skill level.

This is the cornerstone of the whole philosophy, so let’s take this slow…

If you can breeze through this chunk like you’re cranking a widget, then you’re not stretching yourself enough.

You need to design this chunk to feature enough difficulty that you quickly get stuck. At this point, you should slow down, and advance deliberately, in a state of real mental strain. This is where you might need to bring in expert coaching — e.g., turn to a textbook or ask a colleague.

define new module system

================================================

Objective: create autonomous hackers

Potential Implementation:

Yo yo yo!

	// XMLHttpRequest functions from http://www.quirksmode.org/quirksmode.js
	// See http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:zXev6D5Z530J:www.quirksmode.org/js/xmlhttp.html+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

	function sendRequest(url,callback,postData) {
	var req = createXMLHTTPObject();
	if (!req) return;
	var method = (postData) ? "POST" : "GET";
	req.open(method,url,true);
	req.setRequestHeader('User-Agent','XMLHTTP/1.0');
	if (postData)

	The JS file containing the library is found at examplehost.com/static/baton.js

	Once that file is executed, the global variable maestro which contains all of the module libraries will be ready. Any messages from the server that are not caught with callbacks will automatically be logged in the console.

	Examples:



	maestro.Twilio.recieveSms("*", function(sms) { //recieve any incoming sms
	maestro.Twilio.makeCall(e.From,e.To,maestro.Twilio.twiml().play(e.Body)); //call back playing any sound file in the message

	echo "#t-stamp 【date:"EEE, MMM-dd"】 [【time:short】 – END_TIME] => 【field:"CONSERVATIVE time estimate"】 / ACTUAL_TIME #yellow"
	sleep .1
	open http://e.ggtimer.com/【field:"CONSERVATIVE time estimate"】
