BatSignal - Automate Github Deploy
#!/usr/bin/bash
# Author: Stephen Coley @coleydotco
#
# This script automates a Github deploy.
# I use it with Alfred to deploy http://coley.co.

# Change the stuff surrounded in [..]
#
# You must run git pull in the terminal and
# copy the line that asks you for your password.

git-unpull: undoes the merge commit created by an accidental 'git pull', plus some added helpful information!
#!/bin/bash
# Reverts HEAD back to ORIG_HEAD, for example after a 'git pull' accidentally
# creates a merge. This is identical to running 'git reset --hard ORIG_HEAD',
# except that unpull prints some helpful information along the way.
# Useage:
# $ git unpull
# HEAD: a0ac0fd Merge branch 'master' of /tmp/foo
# 2284c9d some remote commit
# ORIG_HEAD: 35431fd my local commit
# Really reset HEAD to ORIG_HEAD? (y/n) y

A copy (for posterity) of Steve Yegge's internal memo in Google about what platforms are and how Amazon learnt to build them

I was at Amazon for about six and a half years, and now I've been at Google for that long. One thing that struck me immediately about the two companies -- an impression that has been reinforced almost daily -- is that Amazon does everything wrong, and Google does everything right. Sure, it's a sweeping generalization, but a surprisingly accurate one. It's pretty crazy. There are probably a hundred or even two hundred different ways you can compare the two companies, and Google is superior in all but three of them, if I recall correctly. I actually did a spreadsheet at one point but Legal wouldn't let me show it to anyone, even though recruiting loved it.

I mean, just to give you a very brief taste: Amazon's recruiting process is fundamentally flawed by having teams hire for themselves, so their hiring bar is incredibly inconsistent across teams, despite various efforts they've made to level it out. And their operations are a mess; they don't really have SREs and they make engineers pretty much do everything,
