Logged in to say thanks for the link.

If I may suggest - have you considered adding it to the Awesome List either at:

https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome OR https://github.com/mhinz/vim-galore ?

I have two depending on who I give it to - Newsletters and Signups or people I hardly want to hear from = GMail.com and a Google App one for those I actually want to hear from

brianritchie | 13 years ago | on: If you store WordPress code on Github think about your wp-config.php

Agreed but this of course depends on if they store it on open repos vs Private repos.

We store our repos on private repos and we have a script on deploy to replace the wp-config with the actual server details on deploy.

Absolutely love it. Thanks for the share.

brianritchie | 13 years ago | on: Ask HN: What's the best way to learn Ruby/Rails?

You could give Capistrano a try. Works wonders for deployments

brianritchie | 14 years ago | on: Ask HN: How long should an ideal resume be?

Genrally this depends on how long you have worked

Fresh Grads to 1-2 Years of Work - 1 Pager 2 - beyond Years of Work - 2 Pager

Anything beyond 2 Pager should only be for C-Level

brianritchie | 14 years ago | on: Ask HN: What do you use to host your Personal Site?

Heroku for Jekyll.

Amazing. We are in the midst of organizing one in Malaysia right now - http://hack.weekend.my and this will be perfect for us.

brianritchie | 15 years ago | on: Ask HN: Heroku or VPS?

It depends on your skill level and time you have. I personally prefer a VPS for the sake of control + the fact that you could possibly host multiple apps on it for the same price. I also use Heroku but generally only for testing/dev. I love the fact that I can deploy an app in 5 mins.

brianritchie | 15 years ago | on: A tale of two cultures

Very insightful article. I think Digg vs Reddit might be suffering from the typical "grew large too quickly" issue where due to their sheer size, they implemented more corporate/mnc type policies for handling hacks etc. By default most larger companies are anti-hackers which ( to their detriment) is what powers true innovation. A dire need to expose and solve an itch. Lets hope Reddit keeps the culture rocking

The Financial Industry is unfortunately plagued with such issues though. I had to survive with the exact thing until I requested Admin access and updated my boxes myself. Dropbox definitely has it right though with the whole dream machine idea. Kudos to them.
