This may sound obvious, but typing is a lot faster than navigating with the mouse. Whenever possible you should be using hotkeys. You will become faster at doing everything on a computer. If you find yourself doing something over and over again, find a way to make it faster. Get in the habit of automating these repetitive tasks.

These are scripts that are part of the mundaneprogramming.github.io repo for SRCCON 2015 and will soon have their own entry/explanation on that site. They aren't meant to be best/canonical practices (e.g. I felt like using csv.DictWriter so there it is), nor do I guarantee that they work. But you're free to run them to see what happens. All they currently do is download the relevant spreadsheets and compile them into a file, which ends up being one of the most tedious parts of the entire investigation due to how the [files are organized on the home
Here's our template for what should go in a pull request. This seems overly-verbose, but will help us:
- manage technical debt
- link pull requests to sprint tasks
- give future developers a lot more context
- give reviewers the context they need to understand the problem you're trying to solve and the acceptance criteria you're trying to meet.
It's nice, but not required to fill everything out when you first open your pull request. This template shouldn't be a barrier to contributing code - and you can open a PR with the words WIP in front, to let us know it's not quite there yet, then go back and update information at any time.

| * Drink more water. | |
| * Drink less coffee, beer and whiskey. | |
| * Eat a vegetable, it won't kill you. | |
| * Get up and hit the gym in the morning. | |
| * Leave the hotel at least once every day. | |
| * Bring extra charging cords and a powerstrip. Write your name on the supplies you lend out. (@ecarewgrovum) | |
| * Eat meals with parties of 4. It's much easier to get a table in a busy town. For big groups, just get drinks. | |
| * Split into smaller groups, if you take a large party to dinner, and you have to wait forever. (@chrislkeller) |
