> "This is especially true in the world of Rails and other frameworks, where there is a tendency to treat one's app like a high-level character in a role-playing game, equipping it with epic gems, sinatras, capistranos, and other mithril armor into a mighty "application stack"".

If you can actually use Capistrano effectively, deployment becomes a solved problem. Mithril armor is actually a great way of putting it.
