About
Sometimes I need to do a find and replace for an entire set of files, but the desired files are in different places within the structure. To do this previously, I would use EasyFind and search the parent folder for the desired string using 'Search Contents', open each file, and then use a keyboard shortcut to do the same find and replace within all of the open files (in Atom). TextWrangler has a multi-file find and replace function, but I don't really like the UI of TextWrangler.

This method has the same effect and is pretty quick - and powerful. The only way I am able to remember it is by using my text expansion shortcuts in Typinator.

foldercommand
find . -maxdepth {{folder depth}} -type d -print \( ! -name . \)-exec bash -c "cd '{}' && {command to repeat goes here}" \;

and fstring
perl -pi -w -e 's/find value/replace value/g;' *.*

Here is the combonation of the two:
find . -maxdepth {{folder depth}} -type d -print \( ! -name . \)-exec bash -c "cd '{}' && perl -pi -w -e 's/find value/replace value/g;' *.*" \;

I hate using the mouse to switch the audio output on my computer to my AirPods. I found a command line utility that can change the audio output and made an shortcut for it with AlfredApp.

About
For Airbnb's launch of the their new Design Language System, I was in charge of creating a prototype of the latest designs received from a team of Experience Designers. In order to keep everyone updated on what was included in each prototype that was presented to our CEO, I took the air/shots prototype and adapted it to display the latest Sketch Files. The javascript library used was created by the New York Times to load a large number of images quickly.

I used the command line interface that is included in Sketch to easily export all of the assets and prepare them for upload to air/april.

The main code was done by my manager Adrian Cleave.

This is a presentation I created for the Design Program managers explaining air/brain and air/traffic control. Example: Each airline works differently, and does what works for them. However, they have to submit their latest flight plan to the air traffic controllers. The controllers are not responsible for the content of the plan, just knowing that what they have on file is the latest and greatest.

Brain is very simple tool that allows you to click on an item within the menu on the left, and view the actual document on the right.

You can send the ‘brain link’ to someone, and automatically the menu on the left will expand showing all of the other relevant documents.

If you need to reach out to the person who create the document, the email address of the person who submitted is at the top.

If you include a private document, and someone clicks on the brain link, they won’t be able to access it. Since brain uses the actual site and is not importing any data, the sharing settings are dependent on what is set within the specific document or link.

This is a tour of a sample project that I sent to my team for a whiteboard session.

About
Airbnb uses a lot of different services when working on a project. Box.com, Google Docs, Quip, JIRA.

Different teams uses what works best for them.

In this presentation I describe a department I wanted to created called Traffic Control. The idea was to have a department that would keep track of all of the latest documentation.

P.S. For meetings like this, I usually send this ahead of time to the people who will attend so they will have time to digest the material.
