Cucumber allows you to format the results you get from running your features. With Cucumber 0.5, the Rails specific code was extracted out into a separate gem called cucumber-rails. With it came a smarter cucumber.yml file which now defaults to the “progress” format instead of “pretty”.
Pomodoro FTW!
In Business on December 29, 2009 at 8:00 amDo you pomodoro? It seems to be all the rage. It’s simple but effective, and I highly recommend it.
The Pomodoro Technique is about focus and maintaining that focus. In a sentence, it is about focusing on a single task for 25 minutes straight, no interruptions. Can you do it? For a lot of people, it is pretty hard. Email, twitter, facebook, SMS, and IM all compete for your attention and distract you from your work. People also like to procrastinate. When faced with a difficult task, you’d much rather do something easy and fun. It is common to leave essays and reports to the last minute.
