Introduction

Welcome to teracy-dev - the starting point to learn to join Teracy team.

We, Teraciers, believe that development experience is really important. That’s the reason why we care and make sure our development environment must be consistent, smooth, and easy to set up. We do not have to spend too much time for installing tons of development packages one by one, we want that setup process must be automated.

And this teracy-dev repository was created for that purpose, to make sure working at Teracy with ease and fun. We are using virtualbox for running isolated virtual machines, chef and vagrant for installing and configuring any necessary packages automatically.

We work intensively on this documentation so that anyone, who wants to join us, has to pass the training program by following the documentation instructions. The documentation will guide you steps by steps to set up working environment, to learn our toolchain, workflow, and our development culture.

Why teracy name?

tera- + racy = teracy /ˈtɛrəsɪ/. That’s how I came up with this name.

The name could be understood as: “1,000,000,000,000 times of vigorous, lively, energetic, entertaining, etc.”

However, the actual meaning of this name will depend on all Teraciers to add and contribute meanings to the name.
