Make that this labor day weekend

Something to look at

Need to read about this software developer who lived in Japan. Also the person who created Lunch Money.

TL;DR

A must read as we are coming into 2020

Maybe time to write a new client for Zuora

I should install and configure The Lounge on my private server

Did not read (yet)

A very interesting feedback on working remotely

Free eBooks, of quality!

Good examples on what NOT to do

Great introduction to Salesforce, clarify a lot of the terms

interesting article, especially when it talks about dark pattern. I.e., when a company starts doing something, it becomes part of its DNA. and people will use that to justify future milder actions.

Great tutorial that I should go through

So far, best quote:

If a function description includes an "and", it's wrong

Functions should do one thing and one thing only. When you're writing the function documentation and find that you added an "and", it means the function is doing more than one thing. Break that function into two and remove the "and".

This is a great read, especially since you learn about someone's mistakes.

TIL about the "Russian Woodpecker."

As a rbenv user, you can install readline and ruby_build with Homebrew:

$ brew install readline ruby-build

now set the configure options when compile Ruby:

$ RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS=--with-readline-dir=`brew --prefix readline` rbenv install 2.3.1

and then don't forget to add:

IRB.conf[:SAVE_HISTORY] = 1_000

in your ~/.irbrc file

Wow. Live lighting all around the world. Based on a network of lightning sensor. Wow.

I saw that talk at an Agile conference earlier this year. really good. he also recommended the book Accelerate during it, which I think is the most interesting non-technical book I’ve ever read on software engineering practices
