Read SHAPE UP by basecamp on a Kindle / reMarkable / eReader

Read Shape Up by basecamp on a kindle / reMarkable / eReader

Basecamp's new book Shape Up is now available online (https://basecamp.com/shapeup) to read page-by-page.

There is a .pdf version, but that's not the best format for Kindle / other eReaders. Instead, we can convert the page-by-page into an eReader friendly format.

Part 1: Convert to a single page

NOTE: This has only been tested on Chrome

The Ultimate Git Alias Setup

The Ultimate Git Alias Setup

If you use git on the command-line, you'll eventually find yourself wanting aliases for your most commonly-used commands. It's incredibly useful to be able to explore your repos with only a few keystrokes that eventually get hardcoded into muscle memory.

Some people don't add aliases because they don't want to have to adjust to not having them on a remote server. Personally, I find that having aliases doesn't mean I that forget the underlying commands, and aliases provide such a massive improvement to my workflow that it would be crazy not to have them.

The simplest way to add an alias for a specific git command is to use a standard bash alias.

Check whether a Paperclip attachment exists

Check whether a Paperclip attachment exists

Don’t simply test for the presence of the magic Paperclip attribute, it will return a paperclip Attachment object and thus always be true:

- if user.photo.present? # always true
  = image_tag(user.photo.url)
