There's nothing stopping you from creating extra folders under /app to contain various types of service objects. Personally I have: /app/factories - for classes which create active record objects /app/ser

Ignorance my be applied equally but thanks to privilege as a male you can afford to ignore or dismiss those ignorant comments in a way that a person with less privilege may not be able to. As a male you're told by society that you're allowe

And this common refrain is the shrill cry of someone who hasn't had to manage a Ruby on Rails application. Application libraries are the domain of the developer, not operations. Your job is to give me a stable system for me to deploy on top

Generally a weasel apology would be: "I'm sorry If I made someone feel bad" Not "I am sorry. I feel terrible that I made someone else feel terrible." Corey's apology did feel nicer, but I don't think that Steve's was a bad apology.

Why are you thinking about this when you're not even sure that your app will need to run on multiple EC2 regions? This smells like premature optimisation to me.

No, it isn't bad advice just overly simplified and generalised. The vast majority of companies won't need to face scaling or big data issues, they're too busy going after that next sale to keep their heads above water. There are, however, s

I wrote a slightly different article: http://bottledup.net/2013/01/10/bundler-and-gemfile/ It focuses on Bundler and your Gemfiles so that people understand not only how to update rails, but their other gems too. Personally I don't like r

Actually it depends on what your Gemfile looks like. If you've specified the exact version in your Gemfile you'll need to edit it before running `bundle update rails`. This means your Gemfile might look like: gem 'rails', '3.2.10'

If you're running a relatively new version of Rails (hopefully 3.2.10) you can just goto your app on your dev machine and type: bundle update rails Then commit and deploy in the usual manner. You'll probably experience no issues with your a

If you have an invite you're able to play in Australia. I don't own an Android but a couple of my friends are playing already. There was an article in the Sydney Morning Herald about the game too but I can't seem to locate the link at the m

One of the biggest reasons to switch is that Slim supports streaming and Haml doesn't, or at least won't until the next major version. Sources: https://github.com/stonean/slim#slim , https://github.com/haml/haml/issues/436

There's a pretty nice transport app called TripView that replaces the horrible cityrail.info and sydneybuses.info timetabling information. Available on Android and iPhone it's pretty much mandatory for anyone in Sydney who catches public tr

Part of Rails 4.0 will be further pushing the "Russian Doll" caching that 37signals/DHH talks about here: http://37signals.com/svn/posts/3112-how-basecamp-next-got-to... One of the great things I love about Rails 3 is how easy it is to st

From which ISP? The quality fluctuates wildly. If its $60 unlimited from a good ISP like iinet then it's a good deal, if it's with TPG or Dodo then it's not worth the hassle.

I remember sitting with Chris at a SydJS meetup nearly a year ago and overhearing his plans for minefold. At the time they'd already written a bunch of code but were still very much in "stealth mode". At the time I was blown away by how muc
