Paul Souders axoplasm

I had a large client framework extending my personal boilerplate that was taking upwards of 10seconds to compile with standard Ruby Sass. This framework had minimal dependencies:

Breakpoint for media query handling
Susy for grids
and of course Compass

I used Bundler to manage Ruby dependencies and ran tasks with Grunt — mainly compiling Sass via grunt-contrib-compass, and previewing with live-reload. Simple stuff.

But 10seconds was an unacceptable performance hit for me. I typically keep my monitor split in half (using Spectacle ), with a browser on one half and MacVim on the other. With Live Reload running I get a nearly realtime preview of my work … except for that one client framework, where I was gettin

Keybase proof

I hereby claim:

I am axoplasm on github.
I am axoplasm (https://keybase.io/axoplasm) on keybase.
I have a public key ASAZS39mQL2CjEJW2mdhMf6MTWbQf_sXT-VxFCStkcwEIgo

To claim this, I am signing this object:

I had trouble getting both Vim and MacVim to use the same Ruby executable, which is necessary to use the command-t plugin. The cannonical MacVim homebrew recipe hardlinks to /usr/bin/ruby while (terminal) Vim will use the system executable (whatever it is). If you install Ruby via homebrew it installs in /usr/local/bin/ruby.

Here's what I did:

$ brew install ruby # install most recent ruby (2.3.x)    
$ brew uninstall vim     
$ brew uninstall macvim     
$ brew install vim    
$ brew tap macvim-dev/macvim # dev branch of macvim, has better tap config

This is much harder than it needs to be.

See here and here. This issue won’t help.

Create Django App per DO tutorial or the DO quickstart (older)
- ensure you have set the following LOCAL environment variables, e.g. in settings.local or other means:

import os
os.environ.setdefault('DEVELOPMENT_MODE', 'True')
os.environ.setdefault('DEBUG', 'True')

Create Spaces (S3 Bucket) for media
(upload media to new space)
Optional settings for the new storage space if you want to use a custom endpoint:

very good documentation at https://docs.lando.dev/drupal/

<install lando> per the instructions here
$ lando init

follow the prompts as described here
Alternatively add Lando to an existing project with a bare-bones .lando.yml:
