Realistic Git Workflow

My git workflow based on real life. Its not always clean and simple. sometimes things get messy The Clean Path # pull 👉 branch 👉 format 👉 work👉 add 👉 commit 👉 pull 👉 rebase 👉 push Pull # As complicated as that seems it is pretty straight forward. When you sit down to work the first thing you do is to pull down the teams latest working “develop” branch from git. Branch # Next create a new branch with a name that will remind you of what you are working on. For your own sanity choose something descriptive. It is easy to get too many similar branches going and forget which branch is which. Format # If you know which files in existance that you will be editing before you start work it is a good idea to format them in a commit early on to keep your working commits separate from formatting. This will make it easier for reviewers to distinguish from your changes and formatting fixes. If your team agrees to a consistent formatting logic, sticks to it and always remembers to run the linting/fixi…

Forestry.io

Testing out forestry.io Sorry Netlify CMS # I still ♥️ your product dont be forestry is simple I have been playing with the netlify cms for a while now, and it has been a decent experience, but I really struggle configuring it. Forestry is so simple to setup. My favorite part is that I can code up my gatsby.js site, storing all editable text in markdown, and come back later and add the CMS based on existing documents. Configuration is Simple # Forestry.io has this amazing feature to create create based on existing document 🤯. This is great because it sets up the config for me without error. And If I really want to come back later to customize it more I have that option, too. Multi-File Gallery # I have a use case for a photography site where the owner wants to be able to show off sample photos of each type of work she does. I got it working in the netlify cms, although it was not very user friendly. Everything was nested in an accordian 😢. Next I looked into forestry.io. I pointed fore…

It’s not all about winning

This is my story into data science. The Journey Begins # I am addicted to the process of learning and improving my skills nearly to a fault. The reason I say nearly is because my addiction is fueled with results. I crave the output of my work enhance the work of others. I jump with joy as I see users gain insights they could have never imagined before. My mouth starts watering as I see their boring repetitive data mining activites be completed in a matter of seconds, opening up their mind to focus on their expertise. The day I stop learning will be the day that I start looking for another career path. It’s not all about winning. ~Mom This happened to me in 2014. I have a mechanical engineering degree and had a really good position at the time. I owned full engineering control of a small subset of engine components. The problem was that Everything is so proprietary and hardly documented the process of learning did not click with me. I felt like I had learned a lot about the product earl…

Update Git User

This morning I log into my VCS and check activity on my projects to find that someone else has been very active on my projects fo the last few weeks. I quicklyhover over the missing avatar to find that It’s Me. What’s wrong here, why do I look like two different people throughout the day! upon further investigation I see the issue. while setting up a new terminal environment I mistyped my email address by one character. After much searching and a few failed attempts I was able to fix it by following an article no longer available (2021) from https://help.github.com/articles. Bare Clone # Clone the repo, note it must be a clone. git -author-rewrite # Curl down the script and edit the following variables Run the script, and push the updates. Cleanup # Delete the repo from your local machine. I hope this helps someone, or future me who needs to fix their information in git.

2019 goals

The year of intenionality This is a follow up to my previous post 2018-retrospective professional # This year I will become more productive, by intensionally working on a well thought out plan, learning the right technologies, and leave behind a positive legacy. Productivity # Last year I was able to make some great strides in my productivity and focus. This year I want to be able to bring it up a notch. Intentionality plays a big part in this. Taking some time to sit down and think about the tasks you realistically want to complete for the day, then focusing on those tasks one at a time. I started off the year last year using the pomodoro system to focus on one task and one task only for 25 minutes at a time. This worked really well for me but I quickly fell off of the train and fell into my old trap of reacting to the loudest customer over the items I put intensionally on my todo list. A kanban system is key to keeping it intentional. I currently use a very simple trello system, with…

2018 Retrospective

2018 was a year of many ups and downs, and learning to deal with a whole new set of problems professionally and at home. In 2018 I logged in to my first Linux system, setup my own webserver, data pipelines, database. I learned to use react and d3. Stepped up my python, javascript, and sql. At home the doctor appointments keep piling in. While I am learning to deal with it all there were several times throughout the year that I was very overwhelmed with everything and broke down. Here are the goals I had listed out for 2018 and how I faired at completing them. Positivity # The Good # Continue “Favorite Things” with family at dinner time Take 2 10min breaks per day clear the mind I can say that the kids are fully on board with favorite things and love to tell everyone about how their day went. This is a time that they are very positive and generally give praise to another family member for helping them through their day. To Be Improved # Gratitude journaling every day Snooze Less be prod…

Do More of What Brings You Joy

Today I want to take some time to talk about the things that make me happy in my work environment. This is completely free-flow off the cuff, but are things that I do that make me happy, not having them would definitely be a deal breaker for me. Attitude # A positive work atmosphere goes a long ways. We all have enough negativity going on in our lives that is out of our control accepting any negativity in the workplace is a no go for me. There was a point in which I was suffering a lot of negativity at work. This began to trickle into every part of life, and it became hard to see positivity anywhere. My wife not only noticed this, but put a polite request in for change. It was definitely a low point and she could tell tell that my work life was not helping anything. Bring the positivity to your workplace. It is really difficult for folks to tear you down if you are the one that is always up beat and happy. People will notice. When they do they will bring the good projects your way, Pra…

The chart is interactive, and will switch subjects at the press of a button. Math Science --> Add Scales # One issue with that plot was that the scale was created by hand.

D3 Day 3

Learn D3 in 5 days # I recently subscribed to Ben Clinkinbeard’s learn D3.js in 5 days, and am currently on day 3. I read through the first 2 days, and felt fairly comfortable with selecting elements, so I did not follow along on the first two days. I probably should have, but there are only so many hours in the day. Why Learn D3 # D3 is the ubiquitous dynamic visualization library for building custom interactive visualizations on the web. It is a bit low level, and more verbose than many other libraries that build upon it, but if you want full control D3 is the way to go. I have used a few libraries built upon d3 in the past and have been very happy with the results. For now I want to start learning a bit about how d3 works. I know that learning it is going to take a long time, so I want to start working on some simple examples now in order to build my understanding so that I can learn quickly when I am ready to dive in. If I never decide I need to take the deep dive into d3, I think…
