alumni feedback to uva bov
as submitted via http://alumni.virginia.edu/contact/alumni-feedback/
I personally find the way that Sullivan left UVa to be consistent with the way I left,
through a non-transparent, closed-door decision that demonstrates neither scientific inquiry
nor academic rigor. It's great to see that the president is held to the same standards as students.
Speaking of standards, I believe that getting asked to leave the university demonstrates
that Sullivan was an upstanding person, who never lied, cheated or stole,
since I also know first hand that people don't get kicked out for those reasons.

programming pretty good practices

Programming Pretty Good Practices

  • Write code that works, most of the time at least.
  • Keep documentation up-to-date unless no one's going to read it anyway.
  • Use TDD, but don't both to hook up CI.
  • Hire a ScrumMaster (certified of course), and then tell him/her what to do on the team, based on your (uncertified) ideas of scrums from all those rugby games you watched last year.
  • Test files should exist to give the appearance of caring and design.
  • Popular libraries should be included to give the appearance of being cutting-edge.
  • Always use the words agile, rock start, and ninja in your job ads whether they apply to your existing team or not

enabling vim keybindings in sublime text 2
  • Preferences -> Settings - User (Cmd-, in osx)
  • add "ignored_packages": [] (don't forget the commas at the end of lines)
  • save
  • now you see INSERT MODE in the lower left corner
  • hit ESC to get to COMMAND MODE. You can use vim commands like :w for save, and navigation keys like j,k,h,l
  • now hit i to get back to INSERT MODE, and use your favorite emacs key bindings, like C-a and C-e
