Being sincere, since I am currently on a PhD program my work load is very unstable. However, I plan to work on GSoC from 07:00 to 10:00 and 17:00 to 21:00 during the weekdays. Anyway, I am very flexible and surely the excitement of working on this will lead to many more hours even on weekends.

Anyway, I am very flexible and surely the excitement of working on this will lead to many more hours even on weekends. I have been working in a private company and at the same time carrying my Master studies through a year and a half so I am quite good at managing my time. | ||

* How autonomous are you when developing: | |||
Constructive criticism is a key factor for improving one's skills and for creating better things. Someone told me once that if no one says nothing about your work that can only mean two things: it was perfectly done and no one knows how to improve it, or it is so regular that it does not seem useful or interesting to others - and the most common case is the second one. In addition, if you are not self-critic with your own work, that is a signal of being conformist. I do not like being conformist because that stops you from growing and learning. | |||
* ''How autonomous are you when developing:'' | |||
I am very used to working autonomously: in my past job I was in charge of a whole project myself and as a researcher I am very proactive. I like to think and design everything as perfectly as I can before writing code because I find this a good practice for saving time in the long term. However, I can understand that sometimes it is quite useful writing some toy prototypes that can evaluate your ideas. This is frequent in research when you do not know how something will turn out and you test it using tools like Octave that support perfectly a fast prototyping process. If the results are not satisfying they are never a failure if you learn from them! | |||
