Things I believe

This is a collection of the things I believe about software development. I have worked for years building backend and data processing systems, so read the below within that context.

Agree? Disagree? Feel free to let me know at @JanStette. See also my blog at www.janvsmachine.net.

Fundamentals

Keep it simple, stupid. You ain't gonna need it.

// 🔥 Node 7.6 has async/await! Here is a quick run down on how async/await works

const axios = require('axios'); // promised based requests - like fetch()

function getCoffee() {
  return new Promise(resolve => {
    setTimeout(() => resolve('☕'), 2000); // it takes 2 seconds to make coffee
  });
}

var accounts = [
  { name: 'James Brown', msgCount: 123 },
  { name: 'Stevie Wonder', msgCount: 22 },
  { name: 'Sly Stone', msgCount: 16 },
  { name: 'Otis Redding', msgCount: 300 }  // Otis has the most messages
];

// get sum of msgCount prop across all objects in array
var msgTotal = accounts.reduce(function(prev, cur) {
  return prev + cur.msgCount;

Here we use Homebrew to install rbenv:

1. brew update; and brew install rbenv ruby-build
2. Add ~/.rbenv/shims to your PATH
3. Include the contents of completions/rbenv.fish in your Fish config.
4. Run rbenv install 2.2.2 and rbenv rehash
5. Run rbenv global 2.2.2

Now you can run gem install bundler and bundle install within your Ruby project.
