`ls` colour codes
I got confused as I thought red text would mean an error.
But they’re not: greenish yellow on a read background means error (a symbolic link to a place that’s no longer there).
It’s the output of https://github.com/gkotian/gautam_linux/blob/master/scripts/colours.sh as the one at
Actually the script is here https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gkotian/gautam_linux/master/scripts/colours.sh as the one at [WayBack] command line – What do the different colors mean in the terminal? – Ask Ubuntu failed with errors like this one:
-bash: *.xbm: bad substitution
The full script output is below.
Since various terminals have a different mapping from colours in the ANSI escape code colour table, I used the standard HTML colours using (which slightly differs from the Terminal.app screenshot on the right):
LS_COLORS uses dircolors which depends on the ISO 6429 color encoding) ANSI escape code: Colors.References:
Note that the shell on Mac OS X uses a different way of configuring colours CLICOLOR as described in [WayBack] settings – CLICOLOR and LS_COLORS in bash – Unix & Linux Stack Exchange. I might cover that another day.
Script output:

Reminder to re-read [WayBack] I am looking for a good replacement for INI files for storing large / complex configuration. So far I have used JvApplicatoinIniStorage + a custom INI f… – Thomas Mueller (dummzeuch) – Google+
INI files are textual and allow for comments. They are not good at large bits of information, and are hard to compare because the order is unimportant.
Alternatives like JSON or DFM have similar limitations.
XML is too chatty, and hard to get right by humans.

Should be on the wall for every development team around:
Why We Write Tickets
Shared with my team the other day in Slack …
Why we write tickets
- So if we get sick, a teammate can help us out
- To help us decompose our work into small pieces
- As a placeholder for a real-life conversation
- To keep track of how we resolved the issue
- To make our standups effective
- To point out dependencies
- To reflect on the mix/makeup of our work during retros
- Self-discipline.
- Don’t take on too much.
- Try to do one thing at a time
Why we DON’T write tickets
- To track our time
- To compete with other team members
- To show managers we’re busy
- To make managing people possible
- To report status, or % complete
- Because Jira is fun to use
- External discipline
