Code Climate Chrome extension

Today while pairing with two colleagues I noticed that our Code Climate maintainability score and test score was showing on the Github pull request pages. Also, any code quality issues are shown inline which makes it really helpful when doing code reviews. Checkout the extension here:

Hope this helps someone :)

I'm drained from work and I couldn't sleep or focus on my assignments so I decided to check out DigitalOcean's new product, Apps. Raw footage, I ain't got the time to make fancy videos :)

MacOS Convert Video to GIF

Yesterday I needed to convert a video screen recording I made to a GIF in order to upload to Github. I discovered that this can be done quickly and easily with a terminal tool called ffmpeg. Here's how you do it:

Install ffmpeg and gifsicle (if not installed)

brew install ffmpeg
brew install gifsicle

Convert the video to GIF

ffmpeg -i Screen\ Recording\ 2020-09-11\ at\ 19.36.10.mov -s 1440x900 -pix_fmt rgb24 -r 10 -f gif - | gifsicle --optimize=3 --delay=3 > screen-recording.gif

Replace Screen\ Recording\ 2020-09-11\ at\ 19.36.10.mov with the path to the video file and screen-recording.gif with the path to the GIF you want to create.

Hope this helps someone :)
