I found hijack on your blog: http://www.rubyinside.com/hijack-get-a-live-irb-prompt-for-any-existing-ruby-process-2232.html http://www.rubyinside.com/hijack-get-a-live-irb-prompt-for-a... This ranks higher than the github repo while searching for "ruby attach running process." hnsearch showed the same article being submitted about 2 years ago, with not much interest showed. I was a bit surprised. I was searching for HN thread as I was expecting some useful discussion, but found none. I assumed this is the kind of topic which would interest HN crowd, but looks like that isn't the case.

HN is a funny beast. Unless it's something affecting a YC company or an obviously big story, it's pot luck as to whether something will take off or not. Often the same story or same blog post will hit it big after multiple 1 point postings. (I did the first HN post about TechCrunch's new design, 1 point.. later one went big :-) I've even done the first post of items on the 37signals blog and Mixergy that have sat at 1. All depends who's browsing the 'new' page in that 30 minute window!)
