I was also reading Design Patterns in Ruby during that time, and it's been over 8 years since that happened so it's all a bit fuzzy. I remember being completely new to Rails and spinning up a licensing server for a project, which would eventually become Keygen, within a couple weeks. But this was also after writing an internal CLI tool in Ruby, so I already felt quite proficient in Ruby at the time having spent ~6 months with it prior to Rails.
