Rich Hickey on becoming a better developer

Rich Hickey • 3 years ago

Sorry, I have to disagree with the entire premise here.

A wide variety of experiences might lead to well-roundedness, but not to greatness, nor even goodness. By constantly switching from one thing to another you are always reaching above your comfort zone, yes, but doing so by resetting your skill and knowledge level to zero.

Mastery comes from a combination of at least several of the following:

Experimental 2015-04-25

# Create a usb disk with Elementary OS and Startup Disk Creator
# Boot it
sudo -i
apt-add-repository --yes ppa:zfs-native/stable
apt-get update
apt-get install --yes spl-dkms zfs-dkms ubuntu-zfs

setup zfs

NGINX Tuning For Best Performance

For this configuration you can use web server you like, i decided, because i work mostly with it to use nginx.

Generally, properly configured nginx can handle up to 400K to 500K requests per second (clustered), most what i saw is 50K to 80K (non-clustered) requests per second and 30% CPU load, course, this was 2 x Intel Xeon with HyperThreading enabled, but it can work without problem on slower machines.

You must understand that this config is used in testing environment and not in production so you will need to find a way to implement most of those features best possible for your servers.

	This file remaps the key bindings of a single user on Mac OS X 10.5 to more
	closely match default behavior on Windows systems. This makes the Command key
	behave like Windows Control key. To use Control instead of Command, either swap
	Control and Command in Apple->System Preferences->Keyboard->Modifier Keys...
	or replace @ with ^ in this file.

	Here is a rough cheatsheet for syntax.

	This file contains code that, when run on Python 2.7.5 or earlier, creates
	a string that should not exist: u'\Udeadbeef'. That's a single "character"
	that's illegal in Python because it's outside the valid Unicode range.

	It then uses it to crash various things in the Python standard library and
	corrupt a database.

	On Python 3... well, this file is full of syntax errors on Python 3. But
	if you were to change the print statements and byte literals and stuff:
