10 ways to make university IT assignments more relevant to industry.
"10 ways to make university IT assignments more relevant to industry."
1) Change the assignment several times while students are working on it.
2) Assign 5 new members to the team 2 days before the assignment is
due, claiming extra resources are needed. The students are told that
'mythical man month' does not apply in this case because of awesome
management skills.
3) Have the best programmer in the team designated 'programmer'. Then

Writing functional specification guidelines

Once you are ready to hire a developer, what should you do to mitigate execution / build risk?

  1. Writing a good functional specification is key to getting the build phase of this project right. It's not easy to do but it's mostly just about thinking hard and writing out all the boring details of your desired outcome. The best guide for this is Joel Spolsky (recently sold Trello for $425M). He wrote a 4 part series on this, starting here, and also has an example (real) spec on his website here (the PDF link is broken, this is the real one)

  2. Before you start on a spec, trim down your functionality to the absolute bare minimum - and be brutal with it! Imagine you had to complete it in one day, or imagine it was only a single feature... take away everything that isn't fundamental

Sample Docker-based web application setup

Docker-based Web Application Setup (example)

This is an example of hosting standalone web front-end (web) and data API (api) applications under the same domain via Nginx (acting as a reverse proxy) and Docker, where HTTP requests starting with example.com/graphql and example.com/login/* are being redirected to http://api:3000 and everything else under the same domain is going to be passed to http://web:3000.

wrapper script for sxiv - browse through images in directory after opening a single file
#!/bin/sh
# Compatible with ranger 1.6.0 through 1.7.*
#
# This script searches image files in a directory, opens them all with sxiv and
# sets the first argument to the first image displayed by sxiv.
#
# This is supposed to be used in rifle.conf as a workaround for the fact that
# sxiv takes no file name arguments for the first image, just the number. Copy
# this file somewhere into your $PATH and add this at the top of rifle.conf:

Clever way to use Python __call__ and __getattr__ to create web APIs that can map directly (dynamically) to actual API
