Today I learnt

  • #music
  • #devops
  • #dataviz
  • #reactlibraries

  • sonic-pi - A programming language to create music. This seems pretty interesting. I can't get it out of my mind.
  • Tonejs - Javascript library for creating music.
  • Howler - Easily Work with audio files.
This video helped me discover sonic-pi

  • I had heard about webhooks a gazillion times. Didnt realize they are nothing more than an automatic post request.
  • A git bare repository only contains the .git folder without a working directory. Its pretty much what github stores.
  • Secure webhook example
  • requestbin - A nice way to test your githooks
  • .sh files don't really need that extension. If you place #!/bin/bash at the top of your file, you can run your it directly as a command for the directory. The shell will interpret its contents as a script.
  • pm2 start yarn --interpreter bash --name api -- start is how you tell pm2 to run a yarn command.
