gistfile1.md

Names always based on what they do, not why, where or how

• eg not Url2Png but Screenshot or ScreenshotTaker
• eg not twitter_user_image_tag but user_image_tag

Git commits always why you did it - not what you did

• eg not Update Gemfile but Security Update for Rails 4.1.1

Think of git commits as titles for blogposts

Explict always over implicit (unless explicit leads to obvious)

• eg not if options[:recommendations_page].present?; size = 20; end but options[:small_size]

Kanban (trello) always from right to left

Always handle the cards on the right side first - creates better flow and solves problems by itself

Workqueues (github issues/prs) always from bottom to top

Always review the PRs in the bottom first - therefore PRs get blocked the least time needed

PRs always first thing in the morning

No excuses. Every day. Otherwise stuff piles up quickly, merge conflicts get more, etc.
