Should ____ Code?

Should-x-code attempts to address the classic philosophical question "should designers code?" It does so by bringing more granularity to the problem and asking about individual cases on from the Authentic Jobs API, to save us from having to reason in the abstract.

Development

Assumes that you have Ruby installed on your system. First, install dependencies with Bundler.

gem install bundler
bundler install

Next, copy over the sample.env file and fill in your API keys and OAuth tokens for Twitter, your API keys for Authentic Jobs and your Redis connection details. For generating the OAuth tokens, I highly recommend the twurl tool, which will save them in a file at ~/.twurlrc.

cp sample.env .env
nano .env

Finally, run the bot with

bundle exec ruby tweet.rb

Job listings will not be repeated within 30 days, and tweets at people who follow the bot will never be repeated. Only tweets with a given probability when the script is run, for easier integration with the Heroku Scheduler.
