Nice way of viewing git branch in terminal
#Handy Git stuff
function parse_git_branch {
git branch --no-color 2> /dev/null | sed -e '/^[^*]/d' -e 's/* \(.*\)/\1/'
}
function git-track {
CURRENT_BRANCH=$(parse_git_branch)
git-config branch.$CURRENT_BRANCH.remote $1
git-config branch.$CURRENT_BRANCH.merge refs/heads/$CURRENT_BRANCH

Instrument ActiveRecord and push the results to Statsd
SQL_PARSER_REGEXP = /^(\w+)\s(\w+)\s\W*(\w+)/
ActiveSupport::Notifications.subscribe "sql.active_record" do |name, start, finish, id, payload|
if payload[:name] == "SQL"
if Thread.current[:stats_context] # where I store the name of the request context
payload[:sql] =~ SQL_PARSER_REGEXP # $1 will be the query type, $3 the table

3 Great Engineering Management Talks from 2014

General key themes:

  • Hiring is really hard. You’re not just hiring a “Rails Engineer” or a “Python Programmer” you’re hiring someone who can help you change the world. Tell them why! Talk about the hard problems you’re solving. 2/3 of these talks give ideas and insight into hiring from sourcing to actual interview processes.

  • Rewriting systems is hard. People think they are going to replace their broken down horse and buggie with a bullet train and this often ends up in disaster. Successful rewrites require an incremental approach that takes months/years and often runs way over schedule. 2/3 of these talks go over how to handle rewrites not only from a high level technical perspective but a cultural/management perspective as well.

Two Developers, Many Lines of Code, and A Campaign that Made History

Harper Reed (CTO of Obama for America, now CEO of Modest) and Dylan Richard (Director of Eng of Obama for America, now CTO of Modest)

Culture for Kapost Bonsai

Practical / Tactical

Be on time to meetings or alert an hour ahead of time if you'll be late

Meetings need a goal and a runner to get that goal accomplished

Defend your time from distractions and use it effectively on moving product forward

Prefer Slack over email over in person interruptions over a set block of time
