From the archives: Trackr teaser video
http://andrewtorkbaker.com/from-the-archives-trackr-teaser-video
Andrew Tork Baker is writing on the Svbtle. August 9, 2013. From the archives: Trackr teaser video. I made this video in early 2012 for a product idea I was working on with some friends from college. The product was called Trackr. And the idea was that it would be a highly visual externally-facing status tracker. An individual or organization could use it to show progress towards their goals on a scrolling horizontal timeline. Like a slick annual report. But you update it along the way. Last week I left ...

Andrew Tork Baker is writing on the Svbtle. August 21, 2014. Last week I left my consulting job. Working as a consultant was a great fit for my first years out of college - I learned a ton about business and (good and bad) software development. So I took the plunge and became unemployed. That last one is a joke - I unfortunately have no relation to Tork the company, though it still fills my heart with pride to see my middle name in bathrooms across America. Instead, I will spend the next two months pursu...

The silent, grateful majority
http://andrewtorkbaker.com/silent-grateful-majority
Andrew Tork Baker is writing on the Svbtle. August 25, 2014. The silent, grateful majority. In the summer of 2012 I went to see Scott Berkun. Speak at a local meetup in DC. Berkun is an author who writes about creativity, philosophy, and management with a focus on tech. I later ordered and read his most recent book at the time, Mindfire. Berkun is a great essayist, and some of his words have stuck with me years later. There’s one essay I particularly took to heart: How to make a difference. Is an indie p...

Andrew Tork Baker is writing on the Svbtle. March 18, 2014. What makes a good side project? Today I’m excited to open source my winter side project, spin-docker. A lightweight, RESTful, docker-based platform as a service. You can check out the spin-docker code on Github. Or the extensive documentation on ReadtheDocs. Itself is barely one year old, spin-docker joins an already exciting lineup of docker-based PaaS tools: dokku. Start with a problem - your problem. While there is value in experimenting with...

Andrew Tork Baker is writing on the Svbtle. Container and coffee enthusiast. Jul 21, 2013. Using environment variables to keep sensitive data out of Django settings. I was helping a new developer at my company start developing with Django. As he was going through the Django Book he felt uncomfortable about storing secret keys, password, and API keys in his settings.py file. Environment variables are the solution, but I couldn’t find any good posts out there that explain the basics. Command, like this:.

Andrew Tork Baker is writing on the Svbtle. November 3, 2014. This post is about a project I did during my funemployment. Read more about it here: http:/ andrewtorkbaker.com/funemployment. When I first considered becoming funemployed to expand my development skills, there was one tech at the top of my list: Node.js. I had been curious about Node for a while, and after a couple tutorials I was ready to dig in and build a project with it. Around the same time, Instagram released Hyperlapse. Once I had the ...
