FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.

What's an Effective Engineer?

wojteklu

Code is clean if it can be understood easily – by everyone on the team. Clean code can be read and enhanced by a developer other than its original author. With understandability comes readability, changeability, extensibility and maintainability.

General rules

1. Follow standard conventions.
2. Keep it simple stupid. Simpler is always better. Reduce complexity as much as possible.
3. Boy scout rule. Leave the campground cleaner than you found it.
4. Always find root cause. Always look for the root cause of a problem.

Design rules

#!/usr/bin/env python
#
# PoC: Manage a git repository in ~/.task that gets updated on changes.
#      Only pending.data and completed.data are included by default.
#      You can use "git add" to add whatever files you want to track in your
#      task folder.
#
# Inspired by https://gist.github.com/Unode/9366218
#
# Works with any Taskwarrior version that supports hooks.

Vagrant

# Gettting the state of the machine, ie Is it poweroff or running

vagrant status --machine-readable | awk -F',' '$3 == "state" { print $4 }'

Can be used in a script like so

README

These are the default files that I will usually start with when setting up a symfony2 project to use vagrant and puppet. I'm putting this readme file here for future updates.

Usage

Make sure the files that end in .sh are executable.
