Programming as Theory Building

Peter Naur

Peter Naur's classic 1985 essay "Programming as Theory Building" argues that a program is not its source code. A program is a shared mental construct (he uses the word theory) that lives in the minds of the people who work on it. If you lose the people, you lose the program. The code is merely a written representation of the program, and it's lossy, so you can't reconstruct

gpg-agent setup

Need to setup gpg-agent first, on OSX I use keychain (it also does ssh-agent)

Uploading Files from Google Compute Engine (GCE) VMs to Google Cloud Storage (GCS)

I had a bit of trouble trying to configure permissions to upload files from my Google Compute Engine instance to my Google Cloud Storage bucket. The process isn't as intuitive as you think. There are a few permissions issues that need to be configured before this can happen. Here are the steps I took to get things working.

Let's say you want to upload yourfile.txt to a GCS bucket from your virtual machine. You can use the gsutil command line tool that comes installed on all GCE instances.

If you've never used the gcloud or gsutil command line tools on this machine before, you will need to initialize them with a service account.

Recently CSS has got a lot of negativity. But I would like to defend it and show, that with good naming convention CSS works pretty well.

My 3 developers team has just developed React.js application with 7668 lines of CSS (and just 2 !important). During one year of development we had 0 issues with CSS. No refactoring typos, no style leaks, no performance problems, possibly, it is the most stable part of our application.

Here are main principles we use to write CSS for modern (IE11+) browsers:

• SUIT CSS naming conventions + SUIT CSS design principles;
• PostCSS + CSSNext. Future CSS syntax like variables, nesting, and autoprefixer are good enough;
• Flexbox is awesome. No need for grid framework;
• Normalize.css, base styles and variables are solid foundation for all components;

Simple script to display usage information about your project

Usage

Implement a help field on your project's package.json listing all the scripts you want to display information about. Just make sure to use the same keys.

$ npm run help -s

> project-sample@1.0.0 help /Users/gordon-freeman/dev/project-sample
