    Lesson's learnt building the Guardian

Below is a collection of my favourite responses I gathered from Guardian engineers when asked the question: What have you learnt starting from scratch and building a mobile-first next generation web platform for the Guardian?

Work with great people.
Deploy like crazy. This means the team has to control the infrastructure as well as code.
Design is not a service. Designers have to sit in the team.
Infrastructure is intrinsically unreliable. Discard and replace is the robust strategy.
Use your CDN for HTML too.
Don't always do as you are told.


## nginx
# block content
location ~ ^/content/(.*).(txt|md|mdown)$ {
    rewrite ^/content/(.*).(txt|md|mdown)$ /error redirect;
}

# block all files in the site folder from being accessed directly
location ~ ^/site/(.*)$ {
    rewrite ^/site/(.*)$ /error redirect;
}

## non-blocking-document.write.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<head>
    <title></title>
    <script>
    (function(Document) {
        Document.prototype.write = function(s) {
            var allScripts = document.getElementsByTagName('script'),
                thisScript = allScripts[allScripts.length-1];

## recover-deleted-branch.sh
## Pre-requisite: You have to know your last commit message from your deleted branch.
git reflog
# Search for message in the list
# a901eda HEAD@{18}: commit: <last commit message>

# Now you have two options, either checkout revision or HEAD
git checkout a901eda
# Or
git checkout HEAD@{18}

## auto_nvm_use.sh
# This will run `nvm use` everytime you change directory, if
#   1. an .nvmrc file is present
#   2. there is no .nvmrc but you're not using your default node
# Add it to your `.bash_profile` (or wherever else is suitable for your setup).

enter_directory(){
  if [ "$PWD" != "$PREV_PWD" ]; then
    PREV_PWD="$PWD";
    if [ -e ".nvmrc" ]; then
      nvm use;

## deobfuscation.php

/**
 * First, we're going to establish an alphabet.  We're never going to write code like:

 *
 *  $alphabet = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz';
