The Prodigal Developer

Generated by asking Claude Sonnet 3.7: "Rewrite the Prodigal Son parable from the Bible to instead be about clean code changes"

There was a development manager who had two developers. The younger developer came to the manager and said, "Give me my portion of the codebase that I'm assigned to maintain." So the manager divided the responsibilities between them.

Not long after, the younger developer committed all his code without review, took a backup of his work, and departed to a remote repository where he squandered his inheritance with messy, uncommented code and duplicated functions. After he had spent everything on bloated libraries and inefficient algorithms, a severe production incident occurred throughout the company, and he began to be in need.

So he went and took a contract with a company in that remote repository, and they sent him to their fields to manage legacy code. He longed to refactor even the most deprecated functions that the legacy systems were using, but no o

Upgrading to Sierra for Ruby Devs

Often when upgrading to the latest OS X MacOS you have to do a few things to account for changing to underlying libraries. Here are the post-upgrade steps I took to get back to a fully operational state. I use homebrew and rbenv to manage my environment.

1. Get your Developer Command line tools upgraded.

To do this just run

$ xcode-select --install

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# Instructions: Just run ./osx_setup.sh. Answer the prompts as needed.

touch ~/.bash_profile

# Show the full URL in the address bar (note: this still hides the scheme)
defaults write com.apple.Safari ShowFullURLInSmartSearchField -bool true

# Enable the Develop menu and the Web Inspector in Safari
