Code is clean if it can be understood easily – by everyone on the team. Clean code can be read and enhanced by a developer other than its original author. With understandability comes readability, changeability, extensibility and maintainability.

General rules

Follow standard conventions.
Keep it simple stupid. Simpler is always better. Reduce complexity as much as possible.
Boy scout rule. Leave the campground cleaner than you found it.
Always find root cause. Always look for the root cause of a problem.

Command Editing Shortcuts

Ctrl + a – go to the start of the command line
Ctrl + e – go to the end of the command line
Ctrl + k – delete from cursor to the end of the command line
Ctrl + u – delete from cursor to the start of the command line
Ctrl + w – delete from cursor to start of word (i.e. delete backwards one word)
Ctrl + y – paste word or text that was cut using one of the deletion shortcuts (such as the one above) after the cursor

The repository for the assignment is public and Github does not allow the creation of private forks for public repositories.

The correct way of creating a private frok by duplicating the repo is documented here.

For this assignment the commands are:

Create a bare clone of the repository. (This is temporary and will be removed so just do it wherever.)

git clone --bare git@github.com:usi-systems/easytrace.git

A simple unix/linux daemon in Python

I've written a simple Python class for creating daemons on unix/linux systems. It was pieced together for various other examples, mostly corrections to various Python Cookbook articles and a couple of examples posted to the Python mailing lists. It has support for a pidfile to keep track of the process. I hope it's useful to someone.

Google Sheets Script for Fetching Data from Supabase

This Google Sheets script fetches data from a Supabase database and writes the selected headers and data to the active sheet. The script first clears the sheet, writes the headers, then fetches the data from the Supabase API, and finally writes the data to the sheet. It is optimized and has anonymized variables for public use.

How to Use

Create a new Google Sheet or open an existing one.
Click on "Extensions" in the menu, then select "Apps Script." (If you don't see "Extensions," click on "Tools" and then "Script editor.")
In the Apps Script editor, replace the default Code.gs content with the content of supabase_to_google_sheets.gs.
Replace the SUPABASE_URL and SUPABASE_ANON_KEY variables with your actual Supabase URL and anon key.
