Creating a Happy Git Environment on OS X

brew install git bash-completion

Configure things:

git config --global user.name "Your Name"

git config --global user.email "[email protected]"

tmux cheat sheet

(C-x means ctrl+x, M-x means alt+x)

Prefix key

The default prefix is C-b. If you (or your muscle memory) prefer C-a, you need to add this to ~/.tmux.conf:

remap prefix to Control + a

How to set up an SSL cert from StartSSL

create a private key and certificate and transfer them to your server (do this at startssl.com).
Decrypt the private key by using the password you entered when you created your key:
```
openssl rsa -in ssl.key -out /etc/nginx/conf/ssl.key
```
Protect your key from prying eyes:

Nginx FastCGI response buffer sizes

By default when Nginx starts receiving a response from a FastCGI backend (such as PHP-FPM) it will buffer the response in memory before delivering it to the client. Any response larger than the set buffer size is saved to a temporary file on disk.

This process is outlined at the Nginx ngx_http_fastcgi_module page manual page.

Introduction
Determine actual FastCGI response sizes
Setting the buffer size
Verifying results

Internet Scale Services Checklist

A checklist for designing and developing internet scale services, inspired by James Hamilton's 2007 paper "On Desgining and Deploying Internet-Scale Services."

http://mvdirona.com/jrh/talksandpapers/jamesrh_lisa.pdf

Basic tenets

Does the design expect failures to happen regularly and handle them gracefully?
Have we kept things as simple as possible?

Git DMZ Flow

I've been asked a few times over the last few months to put together a full write-up of the Git workflow we use at RichRelevance (and at Precog before), since I have referenced it in passing quite a few times in tweets and in person. The workflow is appreciably different from GitFlow and its derivatives, and thus it brings with it a different set of tradeoffs and optimizations. To that end, it would probably be helpful to go over exactly what workflow benefits I find to be beneficial or even necessary.

Two developers working on independent features must never be blocked by each other
- No code freeze! Ever! For any reason!
A developer must be able to base derivative work on another developer's work, without waiting for any third party
Two developers working on inter-dependent features (or even the same feature) must be able to do so without interference from (or interfering with) any other parties
Developers must be able to work on multiple features simultaneously, or at lea
