Make your Xcode templates less rubbish
def inreplace path, before=nil, after=nil
[*path].each do |path|
f = File.open path, 'r'
s = f.read.gsub before, after
f.reopen(path, 'w').write s
f.close
end
end
require 'pathname'

Robert A. Heinlein Quote

“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”

I think it's from “The moon is a harsh mistress”
