Double Shot #1857

You're getting longer Double Shots because I'm still looking for a job. I'm sure you all appreciate that. But if you'd like to help fix the situation, please drop me a line at MikeG1 [at] larkfarm.com. Hey, maybe someone would give me an hour of paid time a day to keep this up?

• How to build a modern CI/CD pipeline - Using Travis, Docker, and Heroku, among other bits and bobs. I'm noodling with this myself, though via CircleCI, Hatch, and Digital Ocean. Fun stuff.
• Better Code Hub - Metrics-based code quality analysis that works across a variety of languages. Looks like an interesting alternative.
• Testing a Feature with Rails and RSpec: A Deep Dive - A detailed walkthrough of using BDD to add a new feature.
• Sublime Text 3 Linux Package Manager Repositories - Now available for apt, pacman, yum, dnf, and zypper.

• Testing SMS Interactions - How to stub out Twilio in your tests.
• js-sequence-diagrams - A way to create UML sequence diagrams from simple text scripts. There's also a demo of using them in Markdown.
• The Leprechauns of Software Engineering - Ebook-in-progress that attempts to trace the history of some of the folklore that we've turned into accepted truths. Good luck with that.
• FastestWebsiteEver - Fits in a single TCP packet. Works fine on Chrome, my Firefox coughs up hairballs on it though. The ultimate "be forgiving in what you accept" experience.
