The reason it took me a month to write the scheduling
program for Barb's pickleball ladies was because I had so many false
starts. I would write my program and
then print out the results and show them to Barb and she would find a problem
with them. I was trying to schedule
anywhere from 5 to 24 players on 4 courts with 4 players on a court at a
time. When I was trying to find the best
schedules Barb would only tell me what she wanted when she saw the results and
noticed a problem. I tried to tell her
that the computer has no idea what she is thinking. I have to tell it everything that she wants
very specifically. Computers don't
assume anything and they can't read minds.
