Eating Out in Lisbon
Ohh I’m going into dangerous territory here reviewing restaurants. There is lots and lots of choice and by no means I’m affiliated with any of these restaurants so please don’t get too sentimental over it, it’s just some of my favourites. Scenario: You have a group of friends and you want to go out in Lisbon to have some food. The options can be overwhelming, there is a lot to choose from and you probably won’t be easily disappointed. Nevertheless, here are some of my favourites that you can try.
Italian
Price Range: ~ 17€ per person
Address:
Avenida Conde de Valbom Nº52-A

The pizzas are the best I ever had and you can have half of one kind and half of another which is great.
Chinese
Price Range: ~ 10€ per person
Address:
8A Rua Pascoal de Melo
Lisbon 1000-230

Trying out for the second week now a co-working space here in Lisbon. It feels very different to work here. And we enjoy getting home by the end of the day.
Guidelines for Project Management
From conversations with my good friend @herrb:
- smaller things are easier to estimate so try to come up with any subtasks you can remember
- sort the list so it makes sense, e.g. polish the interface AFTER having functionality working
- revisit your estimates every now and then
- don’t remove your old estimates but add a new estimate column in your spreadsheet and see how the estimates change. This should help you getting a feel for where you mis-estimate.
- very important for estimates, updates, and monitoring: keep track of how much time you have spent on the tasks.
