workspace activation

You activate a workspace by placing environment variables into your shell and modifying the PATH.

Shell environment variables represent the root config layer and all config resolving must happen from this base layer. If any code in your codebase must resolve config info it MUST have access to environment variables directly or indirectly or at the very least to the root path of the workspace so the environment variables may be established by loading and parsing the raw files.

Any config resolution logic must in its entirety be seeded by the environment variables and may then branch out with arbitrary logic. Ideally further config resolution layers follow rules and patterns that me be shared across implementations.

Weekly `devcomp.io` meeting

Collaboration on packages is the precursor to an entire new paradigm of collaborative system development.

Join a group of people interested in collaborative realtime distributed system development and associated tooling.

You recognize that it takes many small components to make a large system and that there is no adequate open source tooling to assist with the creative process of modelling complex systems and making them a reality.

Time: Every Wednesday 10am - 11am PST

Where: Google Hangouts on Air (links will be sent to mailing list every week)

Remote Pair Programming sucks. Here's how to solve it.

REAL WORLD SCENARIO (blinking lights)

Mr. Tom Dev wants to remote pair program with Mr. Todd Programmer. Tom is in New York, Todd is in San Francisco. They’re working on yet another blog written in Ruby. Tom fires up Rubymine, Todd fires up TextMate.

Todd’s editor quickly alerts him that he is connected with Tom and that their projects are out of sync. The plugin gives them each the option of using Tom’s file versions, Todd’s files, or performing a git pull request. They both do a git pull and are back in sync.

Todd quickly opens the User model in Rubymine with cmd-shift-N and Todd quickly sees that same file opened in Textmate. Todd then highlights a method that has been failing a test and Tom sees that highlight. Todd makes the change to the file, clicks cmd-s, and that file change is synced over to Tom.

Tom thought there was a secondary change needed in the Profile model, so he hits cmd-T, opens the Profile model and Todd sees that file opened in Rubymine. Todd tells Tom that he’s smoking catn
