sualeh

Introduction

I keep a number of personal files on my computer, organized in folders. These could be photos, financial information, and so on. As I work with these files, I add to them, sometimes modify them to edit a photo, or add to notes, and move or rename them in various ways to reorganize. I wanted a good way to keep track of these changes.

My first thought is that I would write a Python program to scan the folders, and print MD5 checksums of each file in a readable way. This way, I could save off the old "index", and compare it with a new index using a standard diff tool. My attempt at this program is sualeh/diff-name-only. My disclaimer if you look at the code is that I am still teaching myself Python, and have not reached the heights of Pythonic Zen.

As I was writing this code, I was struck by how much of what I needed was already done by a standard source control system such as git. I could simply use git, and solve my problems. However, git keeps tr

Algorithmic layouts

You are looking at the most important, and most abundant thing on the web. You can't see it, unfortunately, because it's very small… aaaaand it's invisible — so having a magnifying glass doesn't really help here. But still.

I'm talking, of course, about U+0020; not to be confused with the band U2, who are just as ubiquitous, but far less useful.

This unicode point, representing the humble space character, is between every word, in every run of text, on every page of the web. And it has a very special characteristic: it's not sticky like glue. If two words are neighbors but there's not enough room for both of them, the space will free the second word to wrap around and start a new line.

Before getting into flexible containers, viewport meta tags, and @media breakpoints this humble character is what makes the web fundamentally 'responsive'. That is: able to change the layout of its content to suit different devices, contexts, and settings. Browser text does this automa

I bundled these up into groups and wrote some thoughts about why I ask them!

If these helped you, I'd love to hear about it!! I'm on twitter @vcarl_ or send me an email carl.vitullo@gmail.com

• How long will it take to deploy my first change? To become productive? To understand the codebase?
• What kind of equipment will I be provided? Will the company pay/reimburse me if I want something specific?

I'm putting here some of the things Sandro said in his 3-part session on Outside-In TDD (see the github repo here), and highlights some parts that are significant to me.

TDD does not lead to a good design if you don't know what a good design looks like.

The way I code in this video is the way I normally code but not the way I normally teach.

Some of you will notice that I skip the traditional refactoring steps a few times and I do quite a lot of design up-front (or "just in time design" as I prefer to call it) without much feedback from my code.

Updating a feature branch

First we'll update your local master branch. Go to your local project and check out the branch you want to merge into (your local master branch)

$ git checkout master

Fetch the remote, bringing the branches and their commits from the remote repository. You can use the -p, --prune option to delete any remote-tracking references that no longer exist in the remote. Commits to master will be stored in a local branch, remotes/origin/master.
