Umm... I have to do WHAT to run this code? by Gord Tanner

• Don't just sent people away to some other document --> leads to frustration, failure, misinformation

First impressions matter

• the first day of your project on the first day sets the tone for the perceived quality of your code
• documentation is extremely important
• with Github, the README became the entry point -- front and center
• contributors are a success metric for a healthy project --> be friendly to your contributors

Comment your code!

1. comment what your code does <-- this is self documenting
2. why your code is doing that

• Use Vagrant!
• Check your clock with your oAuth provider -- make sure its in line
• LiveReload --> check services affected
• Integrate LiveReload with grunt, gulp, also use Nodemon

The reason we bring new people into our projects is to learn from them
