Company Requirements

I'm definitely not looking for work. However to provide some helpful guidance for hiring like-minded engineers, I would only consider working for a company if it met these requirements:

Concrete, measurable plan to increase the number of women and minorities in engineering roles.

Commitment to using and contributing to open source.
Collaborative, friendly atmosphere where pair programming is encouraged.
Meaningful work with clear linkage between work and company goals.
Demonstrated commitment to ethical business practices, e.g. B corp certification.
Commitment to career development including yearly conferences.

Goal as it pertains to writing a work instruction

Your peers should be able to recreate your steps and achieve the same results everytime.

DESIGNING FOR AUDITABILITY [1]

Every tool or script you run should create a log event.
The log event should include as much meta-data as possible, but start with who, what and when.
These log events should be centralized into something like Logstash.
Adopt JSON as your logging format.
Incrementally improve things over time. This is not a big project to take on.

	Short (50 chars or less) summary of changes

	More detailed explanatory text, if necessary. Wrap it to
	about 72 characters or so. In some contexts, the first
	line is treated as the subject of an email and the rest of
	the text as the body. The blank line separating the
	summary from the body is critical (unless you omit the body
	entirely); tools like rebase can get confused if you run
	the two together.

	This is a hodge-podge of various but useful commands that I've discovered
	while exploring what nano has to offer. I expected these commands to change and
	often.

	# Enable powershell remoting if it is not already enabled
	Enable-PSRemoting -Force

	# You may change "*" to the name or IP of the machine you want to connect to

	AS A: user of some sort
	I WANT: accomplish something here
	SO THAT: justify here
	WE'LL KNOW WE ARE DONE WHEN:
	* goal 1
	* goal 2
	* goal next

	# List vagrant box files downloaded
	vagrant box list

	# Remove vagrant box files
	vagrant box remove <name from list>

	# Get global status of vagrant environments to find any outliers
	vagrant global-status

	# Destroy vagrant box instance

	# launch powershell with admin privileges
	# run:

	# install chocolately
	iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))
	# update to WMF 5 & powershell version 5
	choco upgrade powershell -pre
	# reboot machine

	# launch powershell with admin privileges

	# Create test scaffolding
	New-Fixture -Path HelloWorldExample -Name Get-HelloWorld
