 I love writing open source software and I love using open source libraries. As a software developer who uses open source software it is imperative that you scrutinize what projects you decide to use. I am not going to call anyone out specifically but I have noticed a trend lately. There are a bunch of small libraries that boast simplicity and "thorough tests" when actually they end up being simple and thoroughly tested wrappers around large, complex, and poorly tested libraries.
 
 If you are a software developer, and you are deciding to use an open source library, take a few minutes to peruse the source. Take a look at the API, the source, the tests, as well as the dependencies, the contributors, the issues and pull requests (both open and closed). You can learn a lot about a project and it does not typically take all that long. Unfortunately, often times you will wish you had not seen how the sausage was made, but it could end up saving you a lot of trouble in the long run. Deciding to use an open source library is an investment - while I would say a large majority of times it will pay dividends it is never a sure thing.

 Maybe this is a side effect of the way that Python imports work. Anything defined at the top level of a python module (or imported into the top level of a Python module) is importable by anyone. There are a few ways to "hide" things that you are importing if you do not want them to be a part of your module's API, but I haven't seen anything that I really like. I do, however, like how Node.js modules deal with exporting, it is much more explicit - which seems to fit Python's style fairly well.

 I have been taking part in some leadership training at work over the last few months and today I participated in an interesting exercise. We had a 5 person team, one person (myself) had a diagram and the rest of the team had different colored pieces of paper. The digram displayed a desired arrangement of the colored pieces of paper. It was my responsibility to direct my team to organize the pieces of paper in the desired arrangement without using any verbal communication or gesturing towards a person or a position. My team had one minute to come up with a plan. We decided on a system of hand signs that I could use to direct my team as to which color to place in which position.
 
 For a very long time I have known the importance of good communication. This very simple exercise really demonstrated how, even without verbal communication and with limited non-verbal communication, some form of communication will surface. It is a necessity of survival. It is something that is observable in nature, ants and bees communicate even without the advanced language systems available to human beings. Removing one form of communication will just cause another to take it's place.

 Since it is relatively simple to configure [raven as a sentry logger][raven] I got that all set up so that rather than just returning the error to the client I also logged it in sentry.

 Anyway, the situation that led me down this train of thought was an issue with a mobile web based fly out menu. I had two different applications using essentially all the same code and the fly out menu was, for some reason, starting part way down the page instead of sliding out at the top of the page like it should have for one of the applications and not the other. It was a nightmarish mess of `css` to trudge through to try to find why the fly out menu was behaving slightly differently in one situation and not the other.
 
 It turned out that twitter bootstrap was doing something with the style of an `h4` on one application that was throwing things off. Wrapping the `h4` in a bootstrap `container` was the solution. The way that I arrived at the solution was to remove all of the differences between the two applications and gradually add things back until the difference showed up. Luckily, in this situation, this was a very good approach.
