Rich Hickey on becoming a better developer

Rich Hickey • 3 years ago

Sorry, I have to disagree with the entire premise here.

A wide variety of experiences might lead to well-roundedness, but not to greatness, nor even goodness. By constantly switching from one thing to another you are always reaching above your comfort zone, yes, but doing so by resetting your skill and knowledge level to zero.

Mastery comes from a combination of at least several of the following:

Install OS X 10.10 Yosemite in VirtualBox

Due to the high usage of this guide and the lack of comfort in Gist's commenting area, I decided to make a blog post out of this which you can find here:

If you prefer to watch video tutorials with live-coding, then check out this series I recorded with the same contents as in this article: Egghead.io - Introduction to Reactive Programming.

Weaving a budget with org-mode & ledger

ledger comes with a built in budget system, but I wanted to get an “envelope”, or “YNAB” style budget working. While this was easy to do in theory, in practice it proved more difficult. The theory is pretty simple; enevelope budgeting merely requires you to create some new accounts to keep track of each “envelope” of money. But in practice, it requires a huge amount of duplicate data-entry, because even when using ledger’s automatic transactions, because each month’s budget is mostly the same but not necessarily exactly the same.The following

brew install mutt
setup an app password for mutt in gmail
setup an app password for imap_notifier in gmail
brew install terminal-notifier terminal-notifier
gem install imap_notifier imap_notifier
brew install urlview
brew install w3m (links would be OK too)
Install pandoc to author in markdown and send as HTML

In August 2007 a hacker found a way to expose the PHP source code on facebook.com. He retrieved two files and then emailed them to me, and I wrote about the issue:

It became a big deal:

The two files are index.php (the homepage) and search.php (the search page)

Multiple SSH Keys settings for different github account

create different public key

create different ssh key according the article Mac Set-Up Git

$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "[email protected]"

	sudo cp /etc/postgresql/9.3/main/postgresql.conf ~
	sudo cp /etc/postgresql/9.3/main/pg_hba.conf ~

	# Package repo (for apt-get)
	wget --quiet -O - https://www.postgresql.org/media/keys/ACCC4CF8.asc \| sudo apt-key add -
	sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ precise-pgdg main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/postgresql.list'

	# Also probably optional but I like to update sources and upgrade
	sudo apt-get update
