Duels Gets a Patch Process

Monday, January 28th, 2008

We scrambled to launch duels.com last August, then fought mightily to keep our heads above water for the first 4 weeks or so. After some modicum of order had been restored to the 1 bedroom apartment we were working out of (servers located off-site) and our newborn Internet baby was able to make it through the night, we managed to put a sliver of process together: weekly updates. We’re all experienced tech people and (typically) know how things SHOULD be done but in the heat of battle, you sometimes do things the way they CAN be done.

Our sliver of process quickly burned up in the heat of launching feature after fix after feature. Well, we’re giving it another go. We’ll try to work with weekly updates and produce documented patch notes while we’re at it. Watch us pull a rabbit out of our hat. With any luck at all, we’ll do better than Bullwinkle.

The first patch notes are here: Patch 01.24.08.
