I think the responses here, and especially this blog post, are completely out of line. Yes, he's a community leader, but he still has the right to write lazy code to solve problems quickly. It's not like he published it as a gem, blogged about it, and tried to convince a bunch of people to use it. It was just a tweet about a fun hack.
- jrockway 16y agoI agree. Being "a leader" doesn't mean you aren't allowed to have fun anymore. The blog post reads as, "I have some pet issue that I am not important enough to solve; so someone more important than me should solve my pet issue for me". Well, sorry. The world doesn't work like that. (Maybe you would become a leader if you didn't spend hours of your day thinking about how one-off scripts could be hacked by a malicious server?)
- coderdude 16y agoIt's also a little cowardly to write a post like this and then disable comments on it.

- route66 16y agoYes, maybe. But a fun-hack with the addition "should make it generic". A quick ack VERIFY_NONE above an out-of-the-box install of a gem-loaded shopping framework reveals 6 instances of VERIFY_NONE, one of which in a function called aply_ssl_options ... The interesting part of the OP in my opinion, is more about the copy-paste technique which makes this kind of "just use gem-install" code into back doors.
