local/prod config swap for jekyll on github pages

Freely hosted sites with github pages are super handy, but not being able to manage environment specific configs is a PITA.

Here is my little hack for keeping my localhost configs separate from the production ones that get pushed up to github. I'm only using this for oauth client_ids (which are visible in the browser anyway - don't check in anything that truly needs to be kept secret!). With oauth client_ids it's pretty common to have one scoped for localhost and another scoped for your production domain, the case we're solving for here is keeping that localhost scoped id a secret.

Greetings!

The following are some resources that have helped me as I try to figure out what it means to be a manager and a leader. This is not intended to be an exhaustive list, merely a jumping off point. A few items here may catch your eye right away, start with those ones, and follow them wherever they lead you.

Some of the resources below may not be obviously linked to management, in which case I probably included them because they helped me understand myself better. Being a manager or a leader requires an ability to understand others, but a precondition for understanding others is definitely understanding yourself.

I have some formatted benchmarks going to stdout and I'd like to colorize them. Trouble is when I send a colorized string though the formatter the white space between columns gets ignored.
# Who wants to shave this yak?
# $ irb
# > require 'colorize
# > puts " %-20s %05d" % ['hello', 12]
# hello 00012
# > puts " %-20s %05d" % ['hello'.blue, 12]
# hello 00012
