Estimation

This document is an attempt to pin down all the things you don't think about when quoting for a project, and hopefully provide a starting point for some kind of framework to make quoting, working and delivering small-medium jobs more predictable and less stressful.

Meownica's packing list

I travel a lot so I'm down to like 30 minutes of packing per any kind of trip. I always bring one carry-on suitcase for any trips up to 2 weeks (that I never check in unless forced) -- I have an Away suitcase because it's got a built-in (removable) battery, and amazing wheels.

Falsehoods programmers believe about time

This is a compiled list of falsehoods programmers tend to believe about working with time.

Don't re-invent a date time library yourself. If you think you understand everything about time, you're probably doing it wrong.

Falsehoods

There are always 24 hours in a day.
February is always 28 days long.
Any 24-hour period will always begin and end in the same day (or week, or month).

Setup

Using Homebrew on Mac OS X:

brew install jq

Add these aliases to your profile (e.g., ~/.zshrc, ~/.bashrc, ~/.profile, etc.):

alias hurlp='pbpaste | jq ".log.entries" | tee >(jq --raw-output "[.[] | .request.url] | sort | unique | .[]")'

This runs a build for a small elixir (phoenix) project in about 40 seconds by caching as much of the compiled files as possible.

We've been using this for months in multiple projects without any issues. Please ping be if there is any issues with this script and I'll update it.

It should be generic enough to work on any elixir app using mix.

If you have a elixir_buildpack.config, then enable that section in the build script to keep versions in sync!

2016-08-09: Updated to newer Erlang and Elixir and fixed curl command.

	# Prerequisites:
	# gem install bundler
	# bundle install

	dependencies = `bundle show \| grep '*' \| awk '{print $2, $3}' \| sed -e 's/(//' -e 's/)//'`.split("\n")

	dependencies.each do \|dependency\|

	# Description: Boxstarter Script
	# Author: Jess Frazelle <[email protected]>
	# Last Updated: 2017-09-11
	#
	# Install boxstarter:
	# . { iwr -useb http://boxstarter.org/bootstrapper.ps1 } \| iex; get-boxstarter -Force
	#
	# You might need to set: Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
	#
	# Run this boxstarter by calling the following from an elevated command-prompt:

	Use this as an example on how to start the virtual console without the need of Java Web Start or accessing it from the web interface.
	You can use the user and password that you use for the web interface.

	You need an old JRE... I used 1.7.0_80 from the Server JRE package, also I have tested successfully 1.7.0_79 with MacOS.
	You don't need to install it, just extract it or copy the files in "jre" folder.

	Open the viewer.jnlp file that you get by launching the virtual console from the web interface with a text editor.
	Note the urls to the jar files. Download the main jar file avctKVM.jar and the libs for your operating system and architecture.
	Extract the dlls (.so Linux, .jnilib MacOS) from the jar libs.

	# A little toy file demonstrating how to build chainable
	# data transformations that reveal some amount of intent
	# through named extracted methods.

	# Kudos to @mfeathers for giving me the idea to try this
