Programming Achievements: How to Level Up as a Developer

Programming Achievements: How to Level Up as a Developer

  1. Select a particular experience to pursue.
  2. Pursue that experience to completion. (Achievement unlocked!)
  3. Reflect on that experience. Really soak it in. Maybe a blog post would be in order?
  4. Return to Step 1, this time selecting a new experience.

This gist is a fork of the gist from this blog post.

Little helper class to figure out on which vnodes a particular hash resides.

@ring_size = ring_size
@n_val = n_val
