# Recently I had need to work on an ActiveRecord model
# that gained much of its functionality through the

# the inherited behavior.
#
# Of course, this isn't ideal.

# In a perfect world, the module's behavior would be

Code is clean if it can be understood easily – by everyone on the team. Clean code can be read and enhanced by a developer other than its original author. With understandability comes readability, changeability, extensibility and maintainability.

General rules

1. Follow standard conventions.
2. Keep it simple stupid. Simpler is always better. Reduce complexity as much as possible.
3. Boy scout rule. Leave the campground cleaner than you found it.
4. Always find root cause. Always look for the root cause of a problem.

Design rules

React "Hello World" Examples

Below are a small collection of React examples to get anyone started using React. They progress from simpler to more complex/full featured.

They will hopefully get you over the initial learning curve of the hard parts of React (JSX, props vs. state, lifecycle events, etc).

Usage

You will want to create an index.html file and copy/paste the contents of 1-base.html and then create a scripts.js file and copy/paste the contents of one of the examples into it.

This describes the workflow to use Heroku as a staging environment. It assumes you already have an existing heroku app in production.

# rename your git remote heroku to something else like production
git remote rename heroku production

# so now you will push as: git push production master

# create the staging app
heroku apps:create staging-appname

      # Works just great, but uses something scary like eval

      ##### Method two #####
      # Manually creates methods for both getter and setter and then

a simple git branching model (written in 2013)

This is a very simple git workflow. It (and variants) is in use by many people. I settled on it after using it very effectively at Athena. GitHub does something similar; Zach Holman mentioned it in this talk.

Update: Woah, thanks for all the attention. Didn't expect this simple rant to get popular.
