Decision

Not worth it considering:

• Uncertainty after 6 month contract
• Amount of work to be done for Medusa

Actually we did a U-turn after a long discussion, with the key caveats:

(1) accept that you may not finish everything in a day or for the whole launchpad, that you may not have time to read everything you wanted, that a code snipped is still not working but that you need to stop and go back to Medusa. i.e seeing this as a

very low engagement /   low expectation commitment

(2) be honest with yourself and Nicolas about saying when things get out of hand, and you’ve spend more than alloted time per day.
