You’re executing a script directly off of a git repo. There’s a lot of trust involved there. One sneaky pull-request away from an exploit.

That said, I do it all the time like everyone else. :)


That's the official installation instruction of homebrew. http://brew.sh/

But anyway I got your point.


That doesn't make it any less terrible, but honestly who expects more from homebrew, as a project it's hardly the pinnacle of engineering excellence.


Scripting out your favorite settings, here’s an example: https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles/blob/master/.macos

I use something similar, along with dotbot (https://github.com/anishathalye/dotbot) to wire up other application’s settings files. There’s lots of good examples around to steal and tweak.


Bravo!


If you need that much information about a variable, I would expect, in general, that the context it lives in is doing waaaay too much and should be broken up.


100% agree! I always try and remember the Single-Responsibility-Principle.


This needs to happen.


New CV item: coined the avant garde term "databese".


Perilously close to the politically-incorrect "databetes."


Seems silly to use the pipe to feed the collection into the first map call. Otherwise pretty nifty, I’ve been enjoying learning Elixir the last few months.


Amen. One of the best things a college career counselor can do is make sure kids know they aren’t special little snowflakes, or super rock-star A+++ awesome. It should not be a shock that an entry-level position is doing entry-level work.


Agreed. From what I read, career counselors (maybe others) are pretty horrible at managing expectations.

The fact that you nailed a well paying job out of college should be considered a blessing/miracle/massive gift...not a burden.

Work your ass off for several years and prove your worth. In reality, a degree means almost nothing in the workforce...it's just the price of admission.

Real world experience is worth more than gold.

Prove you have what it takes over the long term - and THEN start bitching about not being on cool projects :P


Whew, you should rest after taking a leap like that!


Don't you mean "go beddy-bye"?


Truly amazing teachers can break through that. I never had any in high school but I certainly had a couple in college.
