Great work with biff!

Thanks!

Execution error (NullPointerException) at com.biffweb.tasks/dev (tasks.clj:290).

hmm, here's the line that error is referencing: https://github.com/jacobobryant/biff/blob/master/libs/tasks/src/com/biffweb/tasks.clj#L290

In resources/config.edn you should have a :biff.tasks/main-ns key that's set to the main namespace of your app (e.g. com.example). And in that namespace you should have a -main function that starts your app. If you renamed the file or renamed the -main function, that would trigger the NullPointerException.

oml, i must have accidentally messed with the namespace while editing, thank you!! https://github.com/jacoobes/airbin/commit/ef6ba58c62249763ab0f16a96fd19f77f3195c99
