This is quick and dirty and not terribly maintainable. But it's very useful for creating quick cards from the terminal. Requires familiarity with Trello and a basic understanding of bash.
Log-in to Trello.
Go to: https://trello.com/1/appKey/generate
Make note of your key. Replace any mention of YourTrelloKey with this hash.
Create a token. Go to https://trello.com/1/authorize?key=YourTrelloKey&name=SimpleBASHScript&expiration=never&response_type=token&scope=read,write in your browser and follow directions.
Make note of the token. Replace any mention of YourTrelloToken with this looong hash.
Pick a reasonable number of the most popular boards you use. Grab the URLs of those boards. At the same time, think of short, one-word, easy-to-remember names for each board (e.g., work, homeprojects, wedding).
Grab the board IDs of the boards you chose. It'll be the ~8 character hash-like string in the URL. E.g., for https://trello.com/b/aWsGTrsD/work the ID is aWsGTrsD

Your Vision

What is a vision?

Your vision answers the question "What do I want?" A clear vision help you communicate why you're here and what impact you're going to have.

Your vision should be aligned with the company vision, with your manager's V2MOM, and it should be personal. It should be an honest reflection of your own vision for your own work.

If you manage a team, it should be reflective of the purpose of the team and your collective impact.

It's with a heavy heart that I announce that Friday, May 31 2013 will be my last day at Heroku.

How can I possibly put into words what Heroku has meant to me these last six years? I can say it was a tremendous experience; or the opportunity of a lifetime; or the greatest thing I have ever been a part of. I can say that Heroku has been my life's work, as I did recently in a public blog post. All of those things are true, but none seem to capture the enormity of what's transpired these past six years.

I tend to focus on mechanical elements of a company: product, code, design, process. But what has surprised me the most at Heroku is that none of these things is the best part. The best part is the team.

I've never had the chance to work with a more singular group of people. Talented, passionate, skilled, dedicated. Most of all, sharing a set of values: elegance, craft, maniacal focus on simplicity; and an uncompromising belief that the future will be made of software, and how that software gets made will shape
