Miles recently wrote a post on the Indy Hackers Blog appropriately titled, Why Indy? In the post (http://blog.indyhackers.org/post/7262445527/why-indy) Miles (along with several other hoosiers) enumerates the various great things about why a developer/business might want to live in/stay in/come to Indiana. Having spent 10 of my 31 years in Indiana (4 in West Lafayette, 6 in Indianapolis) I definitely think of myself as a hoosier but despite that I moved to NYC in May. I am in the defector group, but maybe not in the dissenter group.

While I was in Indianapolis I held leadership roles at 3 different startups including ChaCha and Compendium, witnessed a very successful exit at one of my startups (3GUpload.com in 2004), and consulted for a half-dozen other various companies. That is to say, I think I have a pretty good feeling for what Indy has to offer in terms of work. Additionally, I participated in a variety of volunteer organizations (Big Brothers Big Sisters, Leukemia/Lymphoma society, ADA, etc) as well a

I was getting the error E576: viminfo: Missing '>' in line: [file names] about ten times with various file names whenever I opened or saved a buffer in Vim. This happened both in normal vim and with MacVim. This was followed by the line E136: viminfo: Too many errors, skipping rest of file. Other than these obnoxious messages, Vim itself worked fine.

To fix it, I opened ~/.viminfo and deleted everything in the section labeled # History of marks within files (newest to oldest):. I lost all my history of marks within files, but that was acceptable for me since I was starting a new coding session for the day.

So far, I'm not sure how my viminfo got into this state.

Sandi Metz’ rules for developers

Your class can be no longer than a hundred lines of code.
Your methods can be no longer than five lines of code
You can pass no more than four parameters and you can't just make it one big hash.
In your controller, you can only instantiate one object, to do whatever it is that needs to be done.
Your view can only know about one instance variable.
Your Rails view should only send messages to that object i.e., no Demeter violations.[ "thunder dome principal". Translated: one model in, one model out! ]
Rules are meant to be broken if by breaking them you produce better code. [ ...where "better code" is validated by explaining why you want to break the rule to someone else. ]
