Stevey's Google Platforms Rant

I was at Amazon for about six and a half years, and now I've been at Google for that long. One thing that struck me immediately about the two companies -- an impression that has been reinforced almost daily -- is that Amazon does everything wrong, and Google does everything right. Sure, it's a sweeping generalization, but a surprisingly accurate one. It's pretty crazy. There are probably a hundred or even two hundred different ways you can compare the two companies, and Google is superior in all but three of them, if I recall correctly. I actually did a spreadsheet at one point but Legal wouldn't let me show it to anyone, even though recruiting loved it.

I mean, just to give you a very brief taste: Amazon's recruiting process is fundamentally flawed by having teams hire for themselves, so their hiring bar is incredibly inconsistent across teams, despite various efforts they've made to level it out. And their operations are a mess; they don't real

PostgreSQL configuration without password on Ubuntu for Rails

Abstract

You could have postgre installed on localhost with password (or without user or password seted after instalation) but if we are developing we really don't need password, so configuring postgre server without password for all your rails project is usefull.

Install Postgre packages

  • postgresql
  • postgresql-client
  • libpq-dev

Moved

Now located at https://github.com/JeffPaine/beautiful_idiomatic_python.

Why it was moved

Github gists don't support Pull Requests or any notifications, which made it impossible for me to maintain this (surprisingly popular) gist with fixes, respond to comments and so on. In the interest of maintaining the quality of this resource for others, I've moved it to a proper repo. Cheers!

Ansible 1.3 Conditional Execution -- Very complete example with comments -- I find the conditional expressions to be ridiculously hard to get right in Ansible. I don't have a good model of what's going on under the surface so I often get it wrong. What makes it even harder is that there has been at least three different variants over the course …
---
# This has been tested with ansible 1.3 with these commands:
# ansible-playbook -i hosts ansible_conditionals_examples.yaml --extra-vars="hosts=myhosts isFirstRun=false"
# ansible-playbook -i hosts ansible_conditionals_examples.yaml --extra-vars="hosts=myhosts isFirstRun=true"
# ansible-playbook -i hosts ansible_conditionals_examples.yaml --extra-vars="hosts=myhosts"
# NB: The type of the variable is crucial!
