I want to write software that helps kill people.

I want to write software that helps kill people.

Please, before you call the police and get my github account put on lockdown, allow me a moment to explain. What I really want to do is work on projects that advance the human condition and improve people's lives. I've been in a mad dash to learn how to program for the past four or five years exactly because I realized how much good I could do for the world with a computer.

inprogress django to pyramid porting thingy

Porting an Existing Application to Pyramid

Porting an application across platforms is never particularly easy, nor very interesting. In fact, it's usually a terrible idea: in general, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. But sometimes you have to do it. Maybe a new platform has a feature you believe you can't live without, or the project scope is expanding in directions that make you feel like your original platform choice might not have been the best, or maybe it's just necessary to port for political reasons. Whatever.

def authorize_key_for_root(config, *key_paths)
[*key_paths, nil].each do |key_path|
if key_path.nil?
fail "Public key not found at following paths: #{key_paths.join(', ')}"
end
full_key_path = File.expand_path(key_path)
if File.exists?(full_key_path)
config.vm.provision 'file',

Trello CSS Guide

“I perfectly understand our CSS. I never have any issues with cascading rules. I never have to use !important or inline styles. Even though somebody else wrote this bit of CSS, I know exactly how it works and how to extend it. Fixes are easy! I have a hard time breaking our CSS. I know exactly where to put new CSS. We use all of our CSS and it’s pretty small overall. When I delete a template, I know the exact corresponding CSS file and I can delete it all at once. Nothing gets left behind.”

You often hear updog saying stuff like this. Who’s updog? Not much, who is up with you?

JSX, a year in

Hi Nicholas,

I saw you tweet about JSX yesterday. It seemed like the discussion devolved pretty quickly but I wanted to share our experience over the last year. I understand your concerns. I've made similar remarks about JSX. When we started using it Planning Center, I led the charge to write React without it. I don't imagine I'd have much to say that you haven't considered but, if it's helpful, here's a pattern that changed my opinion:

The idea that "React is the V in MVC" is disingenuous. It's a good pitch but, for many of us, it feels like in invitation to repeat our history of coupled views. In practice, React is the V and the C. Dan Abramov describes the division as Smart and Dumb Components. At our office, we call them stateless and container components (view-controllers if we're Flux). The idea is pretty simple: components can't
