Explain how to think about ansible and how to use it

Ansible

Understanding Ansible

Ansible is a powerful, simple, and easy to use tool for managing computers. It is most often used to update programs and configuration on dozens of servers at once, but the abstractions are the same whether you're managing one computer or a hundred. Ansible can even do "fun" things like change the desktop photo or backup personal files to the cloud. It can take a while to learn how to use Ansible because it has an extensive terminology, but once you understand the why and the how of Ansible, its power is readily apparent.

Ansible's power comes from its simplicity. Under the hood, Ansible is just a domain specific language (DSL) for a task runner for a secure shell (ssh). You write ansible yaml (.yml) files which describe the tasks which must run to turn plain old / virtualized / cloud computers into production ready server-beasts. These tasks, in turn, have easy to understand names like "copy", "file", "command", "ping", or "lineinfile". Each of these turns into shell comma

JSX, a year in

Hi Nicholas,

I saw you tweet about JSX yesterday. It seemed like the discussion devolved pretty quickly but I wanted to share our experience over the last year. I understand your concerns. I've made similar remarks about JSX. When we started using it Planning Center, I led the charge to write React without it. I don't imagine I'd have much to say that you haven't considered but, if it's helpful, here's a pattern that changed my opinion:

The idea that "React is the V in MVC" is disingenuous. It's a good pitch but, for many of us, it feels like in invitation to repeat our history of coupled views. In practice, React is the V and the C. Dan Abramov describes the division as Smart and Dumb Components. At our office, we call them stateless and container components (view-controllers if we're Flux). The idea is pretty simple: components can't

Higher-order Components
import { Component } from "React";

this.state = { data: null };
}
componentDidMount() {
this.setState({ data: 'Hello' });
}
render() {

Auto-deploying built products to gh-pages with Travis

Auto-deploying built products to gh-pages with GitHub Actions

This is a set up for projects which want to check in only their source files, but have their gh-pages branch automatically updated with some compiled output every time they push.

A file below this one contains the steps for doing this with Travis CI. However, these days I recommend GitHub Actions, for the following reasons:

  • It is much easier and requires less steps, because you are already authenticated with GitHub, so you don't need to share secret keys across services like you do when coordinate Travis CI and GitHub.
  • It is free, with no quotas.
  • Anecdotally, builds are much faster with GitHub Actions than with Travis CI, especially in terms of time spent waiting for a builder.

Anatomy of a JavaScript/Node project.

Directory structure for JavaScript/Node Projects

While the following structure is not an absolute requirement or enforced by the tools, it is a recommendation based on what the JavaScript and in particular Node community at large have been following by convention.

Beyond a suggested structure, no tooling recommendations, or sub-module structure is outlined here.

Directories

  • lib/ is intended for code that can run as-is
  • src/ is intended for code that needs to be manipulated before it can be used

PostgreSQL command line cheatsheet

PSQL

Magic words:

psql -U postgres

Some interesting flags (to see all, use -h or --help depending on your psql version):

  • -E: will describe the underlaying queries of the \ commands (cool for learning!)
  • -l: psql will list all databases and then exit (useful if the user you connect with doesn't has a default database, like at AWS RDS)

My goto files for when I initialize a new symfony2 project. It includes bash scripts, composer.json files and a few other things.

README

These are the default files that I will usually start with when setting up a symfony2 project to use vagrant and puppet. I'm putting this readme file here for future updates.

Usage

Make sure the files that end in .sh are executable.
