Setting up my local environment

instll homebrew

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

I think we need to just go download it

Things We need to do

Sign in to DealShield http://dealshield.net/users/sign_in
Setup ssh config with human readable names
Dig into and document how to look into the logging
Document problems with VCR testing. If a VCR test fails the rest of the VCR tests will also fail because a failing VCR test will not allow the recording to be ejected, and therefor will not allow another to be added.

The next one to prove the first is wrong
Choose a name inline with the concept in the domain.
- Good OO code names concepts, not worried about implementation
Terseness is cleverness (not goodness), stop picking on each other for being simple.
Smallest change you can make to prove the last test insuficient.
Solve the easy problems first, then maybe the hard ones become easy.
DRY is good, but sometimes duplication makes sense, if it passes the inebriation test, check it in and walk away
Open/Close Add new features without adding new code
lean on the green

Code smells, get really good at code smell (brown bag)

All you have to know is the codes smells

make a million new things > mutate objects

Forwardable (delegation)

Don't go on a virtical tangent, instead tiptoe away and finish the horizontal refactor

git checkout -b <name-of-branch>

do some work git commit -am "<some message about the new commit>"

do some more work git commit -am "<some message about the new commit>"

git push origin # can tab complete the name of branch

	REST? Hypermedia? Do I know what I'm talking about?

	I like to think I'm a smart man. I work hard to understand the technologies I use. Embarisingly I haven't ever really looked into REST.

	The embarasment isn't that there's a technology I don't know about, there are a lot of technologies I don't know about! There are so many technologies I'll never be able to deep dive into them all. It's embarasing because I don't know a foundational premise for the work I do. I end up working with a lot of APIs, so I'm makeing calls to and fro, making POST requests with JSON and parsing GET responses. I feel like I know what I'm doing when I have all the right verbs in my controller. I can be helpful when I see this:

	```
	class UsersController < ApplicationController

	def create

	// used thusly `ENV.AppName.varName`

	module.exports = function(environment) {
	var ENV = {
	modulePrefix: 'test-ember',
	environment: environment,
	baseURL: '/',
	locationType: 'auto',
	EmberENV: {
	FEATURES: {

	class Hash

	def deep_clone
	Marshal.load(Marshal.dump(self))
	end

	def compact
	self.select { \|_, value\| !value.nil? }
	end

	require 'delegate'

	module Queries
	class SomeQuery < SimpleDelegator

	def initialize
	super query_hash
	end
