The current version of expectations (1.4.3) prints colorized results by default on non-windows boxes. The following screenshot is an example of the output when no tests are failing: And, the following screenshot is an example of the output when there are failures or errors: Colorized output is one of those small things that is easy to...

Killing IntelliJ Launched Processes
I often use IntelliJ to run applications, and on occasion things go wrong. For example, a thread that wont terminate can cause a running application to become unstoppable via the IntelliJ UI. Usually when this happens I end up running ps aux | grep java and following up with a kill -9 for each process that looks like it might be the one I'm...

Speaking at Goruco
So, I'm speaking at Goruco this year. On The Front-End Future: With the rise of Javascript MVC frameworks like Ember and Backbone, web programmers find themselves at a fork in the road. If they keep doing server-side web programming, they'll benefit from tried-and-true tools and techniques. If they jump into Javascript MVC, they may be able to...

Keeping known_hosts clean
I've recently was cleaning up stuff on my laptop and ~/.ssh/known_hosts got my attention. >100 records. Do I actually need them? I've went through the file and deleted all IP hosts. I do not remember what those hosts are for and if so it is ok with me to remove them.Some hosts had both domain name and IP address:foo.example.com,12.34.45.67...

jQuery find function
I've recently been using Tilava Table on a few different projects. At one point I ran into a situation where I wanted to change all of the visible rows as well as the template, but the row template was no longer found when using a traditional jQuery selection. The solution to my problem was a combination of holding on to the template as well...

How I Open Source
It's been recently brought to my attention that I don't view open-source the way that many of my friends do. My attitude has always been: Here's some code that works well for what I want. If it works well for what you want, great! If not, I'm willing to make changes that improve the library; however, I'm also going to reject any code that...

Agile Development with Clojure
If you've ever spent any time learning Rails then you probably read one of the editions of Agile Web Development with Rails, and if you're like me (skeptical & pedantic) then you probably asked yourself: what the hell does Rails have to do with Agile development? At the time, I assumed that Dave and David were merely capitalizing on the buzz...

Follow-up Thoughts on Aligning Business & Programmer Goals
My recent entry on Aligning Business & Programmer Goals led to an email conversation that I thought might be worth sharing. From A. Nonymous: I have an issue with tying bonuses to performance due to, basically, performance being out of the programmer's hands. Where I'm working right now developers are treated as code monkeys: We're there to...

Clojure: Conditionally Importing
I recently ran into a test that needed (org.joda.time.DateTime.) to always return the same time - so it could easily be asserted against. This situation is fairly common, so it makes sense to add support to expectations. However, I didn't want to force a joda-time dependency on everyone who wanted to use expectations. Luckily, Clojure gives me...

Using the Team Server changeset as a software revision number
There's one thing that's bugged me almost from the time I started using Microsoft's Team Server source control system – how to get some sort of build or revision number incorporated automatically into the software. Strangely, there isn't a simple way of doing this but there are several techniques described that you can find if you search...

Mechanics of Programming
I sat down with Elise Worthy at RailsConf to pair with her on a Rails application that used the Wunderground API to retrieve the weather for multiple cities. If you don't know Elise, she's a Hungry Academy student formerly of Seattle. You can read about how she built her app on the Hungry Academy Blog. Since Elise is new to programming, pairing...
