== Rules ==
On Infrastructure
-----------------
There is one system, not a collection of systems.
The desired state of the system should be a known quantity.
The "known quantity" must be machine parseable.
The actual state of the system must self-correct to the desired state.
The only authoritative source for the actual state of the system is the system.
The entire system must be deployable using source media and text files.

Some places to check out in Portland

Bars

PROTIP: Bars in Oregon have to serve food as long as they're serving alcohol. As a result, some of them have amazing food.

PROTIP: You can't buy alcohol (other than beer or wine) anywhere else but a state-controlled liquor store. Most of them are closed on Sundays and close around 7pm every other night of the week.

Southeast

  • The Night Light - This was our favorite bar just before we moved to Italy. Right in the heart of the quiet Clinton district (where we were living at the time).
  • The Doug Fir Lounge - I hate to use the word swanky again but that's the only way I can describe it. The entire place is built to look like a log cabin. Used to go here all the time. Pretty good bar. The restaurant is open until 3am (or at least was when I lived there) and has some DAMN good gastro pub style food. The halibut fish and chips and burger are insane. Funny enough, I saw the GitHub guys here (including maddox and Tek I think?) after

My Heroku values

Make it real

Ideas are cheap. Make a prototype, sketch a CLI session, draw a wireframe. Discuss around concrete examples, not hand-waving abstractions. Don't say you did something, provide a URL that proves it.

Ship it

Nothing is real until it's being used by a real user. This doesn't mean you make a prototype in the morning and blog about it in the evening. It means you find one person you believe your product will help and try to get them to use it.

Do it with style
