working on a screencast on form builders for a new pragmatic programmer series.
I can barely understand my own thoughts, let alone try to communicate them with others.
@tobi apparently it's going to be a cold winter.
@ayb git branches aren't much work. And it makes it easier to deploy other smaller fixes while I'm working on the feature.
getting into the habit of making a separate git branch for each feature if I expect it to require more than a couple commits.
I have some cool ideas for the Ruby Warrior game and integrating it with GitHub post commit hooks and API. If only I had the time.
@KentBeck +1 @clarkware, I'd love to see jUnit on GitHub instead of Google Code. :)
@chacon nice job on the screencasts! Now I'm tempted to play around with GitHub's API.
@robbyrussell agreed! I've accidentally hit ⌘Q too often.
Fun behind the scenes trivia: each Railscasts episode is made up of ~20 different clips. I gave up doing single takes long ago.
weird, my macbook battery won't charge over 97%..
You don't need to organize your todo list. You need to find the motivation to do the list. And sometimes organizing it provides motivation.
Sometimes I think if I type faster I can fit more in the 140 character limit.
if a picture is worth a thousand words, a screencast must be worth a million.
@kellishaver that's cool. I can ride a unicycle as well, but I'll leave juggling hatchets and flaming things for your neighbor. ;)
I'm always amazed by the number of jugglers I meet in developer communities.
@amiel yes! Juggling is a classic example of this and where I first learned it. :)
Beginners can teach beginners better than experts can teach beginners.
http://railscasts.com uses #passenger - been running for many months with little hassle or restarts.
I have to constantly remind myself: Stop thinking so much about the implementation when writing tests.
