	<h3>Why Database Technology Matters</h3>

	<p>Sometimes I get so down in the weeds of database technology, I forget why I think databases are so fascinating to me, why I found them so important to begin with. ACID. Latency, bandwidth, durability, performance, scalability, bits and bytes. Virtual this, cloud that. Blah blah blah. Who the fuck cares?</p>

	<p>I care.</p>

	<p>Dear lord I care. I care so much it hurts.</p>

	<p>"A database is an organized collection of data, today typically in digital form." -Wikipedia</p>

PaulCapestany / Xcode-todos-and-github-README-generator.sh

Created March 27, 2013 21:40

This is an Xcode build script that turns code comments into Xcode issue warnings, creates a todo.txt for easy navigation/viewing from within the Xcode project, and also generates/updates all of the above into properly formatted markdown (including links to the lines of code for direct viewing within Github) for the README.

	# turn !!!s into build warnings and generate/update README
	# --------------------------------------------------------
	HIGHPRIORITY="!!!:"
	LOWERPRIORITY="TODO:\|\?\?\?:"
	# this allows us to make sure each Github link works, regardless of branch switches
	CURRENTBRANCH=`cat .git/HEAD \| sed 's\|ref: refs/heads/\|\|'`
	VERSIONSTRING=$(/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Print CFBundleShortVersionString" "${PROJECT_DIR}/${INFOPLIST_FILE}")

	# put notes (and temporary files to be deleted) here
	mkdir -p $PROJECT_NAME/tmp
