A recent gnarly bit of Bash I built up over a few minutes until it did what I needed. I was specifically looking to see which, if any, jobs posted to our job board weren't working, since someone reported that they'd clicked a link and it took them to a broken page, but neglected to tell me which posting it was.
# oneliner
for link in $(curl https://dribbble.com/jobs.rss | grep link | cut -d'>' -f2 | cut -d'<' -f1); do echo $link; curl -I --location $link | grep -E '(Location|HTTP)' | cut -d' ' -f2; echo "--------------------"; done
# expanded
for link in $(curl https://dribbble.com/jobs.rss | grep link | cut -d'>' -f2 | cut -d'<' -f1); # cut the URL out of "<link>http://example.com</link>" from our jobs RSS feed
do echo $link # print it
curl -I --location $link | grep -E '(Location|HTTP)' | cut -d' ' -f2 # get the URL, follow any redirects, and print out each redirect and the ending HTTP status code
echo "--------------------"
done

A woefully incomplete outline for a talk I'm starting to work on.

Fear, Failure, and Imposter Syndrome

Fear

  • Fear of failure
    • Powerful emotion
    • Stops us from even trying
    • Keeps us on the small potatoes
    • Ignore the big problems, the hard challenges
  • Many of us were "bright kids", and we're not used to failing or tying hard
    • We leave school and enter the real world. Things aren't so easy.

I'm noodling giving a talk at our local Ruby user group (http://ruby.mn). I will discuss some of the less obvious benefits of extracting non-business-logic code out of your application and into gems. Here's my outline so far.

Gems for Fun and Profit. Mostly Profit.

Show of Hands

  • Who has used a gem?
    • Such as Rails, Sinatra, Bundler, Rake
  • Who has written a gem?

Why do We Write Gems?
