Programming Achievements: How to Level Up as a Developer

1. Select a particular experience to pursue.
2. Pursue that experience to completion. (Achievement unlocked!)

4. Return to Step 1, this time selecting a new experience.

This gist is a fork of the gist from this blog post.

Git Workflow

Basic workflow I've been following, inspired by the RailsTutorial website.

Branch -> Edit -> Commit -> Merge -> Push

git init        => Create a new repository in the current directory

git add         => Add file to current changeset.

# This Lisp implementation does not provide a s-expression reader.

#               1,
