Every key is just a new line in the $USER.pub file. This is not automatically
reflected to gitolite, which uses a separate config, so I'll need to come up
with a way to replace gitolite someday.

Now bild knows how to determine between modules that require ghcjs and ghc. It
also knows what *not* to build, meaning it won't try to build non-buildable nix
targets, for example (unfortunately this is just hardcoded for now), but it also
won't build scm or py targets that I haven't implemented yet. It just silently
fails, which is fine, because it means I can do `bild **/*` and everything just
works.
Of course, if I want to build scm code then I will have to implement that, but
that's not a priority right now.

I had to refactor Biz/Bild/Rules.nix. I also had to checkin my patched
hoogle.nix file, but I also upstreamed the patch to nixpkgs-dev so it shouldn't
stick around for too long.

Still calibrating my use of hlint.

I decided to finish the Devalloc frontend by just removing it. This way I can
have everything in one file, the code is much simpler, and I can scale up as
needed.
Anyway, this works fine with Turbolinks and that's pretty cool, so you get the
same basic feel as with any other SPA.

After hours of trying to get a page abstraction working in a Miso app (both
Devalloc and Hero) I had a revelation: Miso is an SPA - *single* page
application - framework, and so trying to put multiple pages into it is
fundamentally at odds with the rest of the architecture.
Of course this is also a problem with Elm's pattern of nesting models in order
to create a page abstraction. They can pull it off because they don't also try
to do isomorphic rendering.
In hindsight this should be obvious... if I actually do want some kind of
page-like abstraction or separation, then I need a much more complex server that
can embed different Miso apps based on some logic. But this is more like
multi-tenancy, or something.
Also I'm starting to think that I don't want Devalloc to be an SPA anyway, so
I'll try an experimental branch where I rip it out and just use Servant, Lucid,
and Turbolinks.

Move them under the Biz root so that we know they are specific to Biz stuff. Biz
is for proprietary stuff that we own.
I also had to refactor the bild namespace parsing code because it couldn't
handle a namespace with 3 parts. I really need to get that namespace library
written and tested.

This includes deployment and implementation.
As part of sprint-49, here are the startup progress questions:
- Are you on track?
- Yes? I'm making progress toward a proper launch.
- Are you launched?
- No
- How many weeks to launch?
- I would say 4 but it's probably more like 8
- How many (prospective) users have you talked to in the last week?
- 2, Kyle and his manager, see below
- What have you learned from them?
- Kyle thought the metrics were interesting.
- His manager thought the metrics were kinda useful but didn't think they
really helped people ship higher quality code faster. So that's the rub: I
have to show how this can make devs ship higher quality code faster; or,
develop a set of features that improve those things.
- Kyle pointed out that the clustering feature of devalloc will find optimal
pairings *and* identify team silos that could be improved, so that's
important to remember and might be a good angle in the future.
- On a scale of 1-10, what is your morale?
- 6 maybe
- What most improved your primary metric?
- Well I was able to deploy something within in the week, whereas before I had
zero deploys per week. So that's an improvement.
- What is your biggest obstacle?
- Finding customers to talk to.
- Also the thing isn't really built yet, I just have a python script. I need
to build the real SaaS product
- What are your top 1-3 goals for next week?
- Find a single customer I can work with on an ongoing basis
- I should ask around my network to see if I have any second-order
connections that would be willing to work with me (Asher, Chad,
previous bosses, etc)
- Build out the front-end of the website (it's very simple, would just need a
basic miso module and deployment)
- Figure out how to connect/auth to the Github API so I can start building the
SaaS version of the product
Some user feedback from my friend Kyle. This comes from his engineering manager:
> "Looks neat. If it were priced low enough I could see using it to run reports
> as part of an overall package. A lot of those metrics don't matter too much to
> me as a manager though A lot of these code quality tools are handy info but I
> don't feel like they make people ship code any faster or any higher quality
> Things like CodeClimate work well for Jrs though to avoid obvious static type
> mistakes"
Kyle provided some additional comments:
> he might have been an unusual case. Jared's not big into metrics, Pivotal
> Tracker point estimates, or things like that... He's far more into qualitative
> feedback, like retrospectives and 1:1s
>
> I think it's definitely neat data! I certainly like the collaboration analysis
>
> It's interesting, we recently had a pair where two devs didn't work well
> together, that could be represented here. Though, we didn't want to avoid
> having them work together, we wanted them to find a work style that worked for
> both of them
And that's a good point: devalloc will find optimal pairings *and* points where
you could improve team cohesiveness.
