Using Jemalloc 5 with Ruby.md

For years, people have been using jemalloc with ruby. There were various benchmarks and discussions. Legend had it that Jemalloc 5 didn't work as well as Jemalloc 3.

Then, one day, hope appeared on the horizon. @wjordan offered a config for Jemalloc 5.

Artifacts from DPI Software Development Apprenticeship Program

Artifacts from a 1-year Full-Stack Developer program

If we run a 1-year Full-Stack Development program, what artifacts would we want students to exit with? What would hiring managers want to see? What will make our graduates stand out?

We should contact employer partners to ask them what they'd like to see, especially ones like who have strong apprenticeship/in-house training programs in place. E.g., thoughtbot.

Once we figure out the artifacts that would best demonstrate valuable skills/make candidates attractive, we should create a dream personal website/portfolio to act as a target for students, including stretch goals. We can then backward design the curriculum from there.


Scaling your API with rate limiters

The following are examples of the four types rate limiters discussed in the accompanying blog post. In the examples below I've used pseudocode-like Ruby, so if you're unfamiliar with Ruby you should be able to easily translate this approach to other languages. Complete examples in Ruby are also provided later in this gist.

In most cases you'll want all these examples to be classes, but I've used simple functions here to keep the code samples brief.

Request rate limiter

This uses a basic token bucket algorithm and relies on the fact that Redis scripts execute atomically. No other operations can run between fetching the count and writing the new count.

What I Wish I'd Known About Equity Before Joining A Unicorn

What I Wish I'd Known About Equity Before Joining A Unicorn

Disclaimer: This piece is written anonymously. The names of a few particular companies are mentioned, but as common examples only.

This is a short write-up on things that I wish I'd known and considered before joining a private company (aka startup, aka unicorn in some cases). I'm not trying to make the case that you should never join a private company, but the power imbalance between founder and employee is extreme, and that potential candidates would

Make it real

Ideas are cheap. Make a prototype, sketch a CLI session, draw a wireframe. Discuss around concrete examples, not hand-waving abstractions. Don't say you did something, provide a URL that proves it.

Ship it

Nothing is real until it's being used by a real user. This doesn't mean you make a prototype in the morning and blog about it in the evening. It means you find one person you believe your product will help and try to get them to use it.

Do it with style

Checkout github pull requests locally

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = git@github.com:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:
