Library for viewing public Linode employee data

Usage

First, create a Linodian object

require 'linodians'
employees = Linodians.new

You now have an array of all publically listed Linodians. The following attributes are provided:

  • fullname: Full name as publicized
  • username: Short name as publicized
  • title: Their position

Any social sites are also parsed, if provided, including 'twitter', 'linkedin', and 'github'.

A .photo method is also provided that pulls their public photo.

For example, if you want to follow all the Linodians on Twitter, you can quickly grab all available Twitter profiles:

require 'linodians'
employees = Linodians.new
twitter_profiles = employees.map { |x| x[:twitter] }.compact
puts twitter_profiles

Say you want to follow any of them you don't already follow? You can combine the above with sferik's awesome "t" CLI for Twitter:

linodian_accounts = twitter_profiles.map { |x| x.split('/').last }
currently_following = `t followings`.split
new_accounts = linodian_accounts.reject { |x| currently_following.include? x }
new_accounts.each { |x| system "t follow #{x}" }

Or you can find all the listed titles and how many people have each title:

require 'linodians'
employees = Linodians.new
titles = employees.map(&:title).each_with_object(Hash.new(0)) { |i, o| o[i] += 1 }
titles.sort_by(&:last).each { |title, count| puts "#{count} -- #{title}" }

gem install linodians
