Extract Mixins (modules)

BDD: It's not your test framework, it's you

Notes

brittle tests do not reveal intent. they explain how, not what.
create your own DSL about the important things your domain

Managers in Technology

CTO vs VP of Engineering

CTO is responsible for the technology "vision" (future)

should report to the CEO
understands how technology fits into the larger, real world
responsible for the culture
head architect is the CTO in training
must be excellent at communication

vim & tmux

status bar is completely configurable
http://goo.gl/98M56
can script everything tmux can do. can script splitting windows, etc
can add a "send text at start" command to iTerm2
ctrl-P + fuzzy search kien.github.com/ctrlp.vim
Ag! for a vim aware grep
github.com/tpope - a lot of useful vim plugins
