+# Ensure A Rake Task Cannot Write Data
+
+Let's say we are writing a substantially complex rake task for aggregating,
+arranging, and exporting data from our app's database. The idea is to run this
+rake task against production.
+
+There is no part of this rake task that needs to write data. It should act as a
+read-only script. And in fact, we can ensure it isn't able to write any data.
+We can do that by putting `ApplicationRecord` in read-only mode.
+
+```ruby
+task big_export_rake_task: :environment do
+  class ApplicationRecord
+    def readonly?
+      true
+    end
+  end
+
+  # a bunch of logic ...
+  puts 'this gets executed'
+
+  # Call method that inadvertently writes data
+  User.update(email: 'readonly@email.com')
+
+  # more logic ...
+  puts 'this does not get executed'
+end
+```
+
+Because we have made all of `ApplicationRecord` read-only, when we run this
+task, it is immediately going to rollback the changes that were attempted and
+then raise an error which aborts the rest of the rake task.
+
+We'll see some messaging like this:
+
+```
+rake aborted!
+ActiveRecord::ReadOnlyRecord: User is marked as readonly
+```

+# Swap The Position Of Two Split Windows
+
+A Vim workflow that I often end up in is one where I have two windows split
+either vertically or horizontally. I'm usually editing in one side of the split
+and referencing something from the other side of the split.
+
+I typically like to have the split them I'm editing in on the top or to the
+left. If the split that I want to edit from ends up in the bottom or to the
+right, I can swap its position with the other window using one of Vim's window
+commands. These are typically prefixed with `Ctrl-w`.
+
+Swapping the position of two windows is the same as rotating them, either to
+the left or to the right. In that case, I can use either of these commands:
+
+```
+Ctrl-w Ctrl-r # rotates windows downwards/rightwards
+Ctrl-w r      # rotates windows upwards/leftwards
+```
+
+See `Ctrl-W_Ctrl-R` for more details.
