Pick `vim` color scheme, quickly

When you are in need of a new color scheme and you want to sidestep the hassle of manually editing and loading each scheme one by one, you can do so with these steps:

copy switch_colors.vim script to ~/.vim/plugin/switch_colors.vim
clone vim-colorschemes
copy schemes from vim-colorschemes/colors to ~/.vim/colors
while in vim execute :SetColors all command (it will set the script to use newly downloaded schemes from the repo)
use F8 to cycle forward and Shift-F8 to cycle backwards through all schemes
after choosing one, set its name in .vimrc color scheme with colorscheme [scheme name]

The Mythical Man-Month - go-to book summary

The following is the summary of the Mythical Man-Month aka MMM, the book that needs no introduction. It is a must-read for every participant of any software development process.
