How to export your VS Code extensions from terminal

code --list-extensions | sed -e 's/^/code --install-extension /' > my_vscode_extensions.sh

Picking the right architecture = Picking the right battles + Managing trade-offs

User cases (description of sequences of events that, taken together, lead to a system doing something useful)
- Who is going to use it?
- How are they going to use it?

	// This is bloody ugly, but it works! Hooray!
	// One of the early NEHE tutorials, compiled using:
	// gcc -framework GLUT -framework OpenGL triangle_square_colour_rotate.c -o triangle_square_colour_rotate -Wall

	#include <stdio.h>

	#ifdef __APPLE__
	#include <GLUT/glut.h>
	#else
	#include <GL/glut.h> /* glut.h includes gl.h and glu.h*/

	# Add the following to your .bash_profile for auto-completion
	# (e.g. mvimgem <tabtab>)
	#
	# Modified to work with mvim instead of Textmate
	# Original: http://effectif.com/articles/opening-ruby-gems-in-textmate

	_mvimgem()
	{
	local curw
	COMPREPLY=()

	require File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../spec_helper')

	describe Event do

	it "should be refillable if the event is floating and not complete" do
	event = Event.new(:complete => false)
	event.stub!(:floating?).and_return true
	event.should be_refillable
	end

	on linkinuscmd(ipAddress)
	set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
	set iChatActive to false
	set theString to "/me is not currently running iChat"

	tell application "Finder"
	if (get name of every process) contains "iChat" then set iChatActive to true
	end tell

	if iChatActive then

	What do I remember being so good about MMOs?

	Identifiers that say something about me (Race chosen, name, class, abilities, weapons, armour, appearance)

	A 'home' - somewhere to idle after questing. Somewhere where it's likely to bump into friends, or other people I 'know' / recognise.

	Meet people who are different but with shared goals.
	"Group of friends that I met in game. Similar situations, complementing skills, similar attitudes, etc. Usually introduced by someone helping someone else out."

	World effects (e.g. Weather) - something that happens on a regional scale that is noticeable by everyone nearby

	These are the steps I took to get the HSBC Bookmarklet (http://dies-el.co.uk/hsbc_bookmarklet) installed.

	1. Get a copy of John Gruber's perl script to create bookmarklets (I've copied it and created a gist)

	$ git clone git://gist.github.com/316867.git make-bookmarklet

	2. Get a copy of Andrew Donaldson's HSBC auto logger inner

	$ git clone git://gist.github.com/266260.git hsbc-bookmarklet
