TWU learning journal (project day 2) Tues

Today, donations for the client are up through Ammado. This is major value delivered.

The main representatives of our client visited us at the office today to observe the process, give feedback, and to discuss priorities and next steps.

In Go, you make a pipeline by writing it into existence in an XML file. In a pipeline, there are stages. In a stage, there are jobs. Jobs have input, and produce output files which are known as artifacts and which following jobs and stages can use as inputs. Agents are machines on which your build will run. Jobs can be run in parallel.

Power outages are not uncommon in most of India and thus our office has good protections and backups which prevent productivity disruption.

I worked with automating processes using shell scripts. I have made great strides with using IntelliJ efficiently. I am learning about git, especially the usefulness of git rebase. Also, chmod, which is a bash command. To call TextMate from the commandline, use "mate filename"

A .war file is a type of .jar file which is a type of .zip which is self contained i.e. has everything inside of it that everything inside of it requires to run.

In our project, an enhancement to a story should be a new story card.

You can write unit tests for XML. I wonder if this is a good idea for our project.

For the future TWUers: a good food delivery place near the office is
