Some random thoughts about making remote employees successful

have an advocate, ideally at the VP or C-Level, who is personally invested in making remote work. When I started at Etsy, I remember Kellan asking me directly "what can I do to make working remote better?" and Marc repeatedly checking in with me about remote qua remote. This has the obvious benefit of people who have power to make changes knowing about what changes to make and pushing things in a remote-friendly direction, but IME it also has an incredible effect on the morale of remotes. Remote morale is even more subject to perturbation than onsite morale, so this matters.
Avi Bryant said something once that really resonated: try to hire extroverts as remotes. I'm an introvert AND I'm shy and lots of the things I struggle with as a remote are, I think, tied up with that. My default action is not to reach out to people; it's a thing I have to nudge myself to do every time I need to do it, and minor barriers can grow in my head.

Tinder API documentation

Note: this was written in April/May 2014 and the API may has definitely changed since. I have nothing to do with Tinder, nor its API, and I do not offer any support for anything you may build on top of this. Proceed with caution

http://rsty.org/

I've sniffed most of the Tinder API to see how it works. You can use this to create bots (etc) very trivially. Some example python bot code is here -> https://gist.github.com/rtt/5a2e0cfa638c938cca59 (horribly quick and dirty, you've been warned!)

tmux shortcuts & cheatsheet

start new:

tmux

start new with session name:

tmux new -s myname

tmux cheat sheet

(C-x means ctrl+x, M-x means alt+x)

Prefix key

The default prefix is C-b. If you (or your muscle memory) prefer C-a, you need to add this to ~/.tmux.conf:

remap prefix to Control + a

	#!/bin/bash
	iatest=$(expr index "$-" i)
