These were some of the most valuable things on the web. I actually didn't follow the video content as much as the written form which was just what I needed. When someone on my team would come and ask me how to do something, I would often just point them at the railscast for that topic and know that they were going to build it in a reasonable way. So many tricky things became so easy to do, that I could really focus on the product and not the technical means. Web development has slid backward from those days in many ways.
