If you're a Rails developer, you probably have a config/initializers/backtrace_silencers.rb file in your app. Think of James the next time you see that file. He wrote the initial implementation: http://jamesgolick.com/2007/12/1/noisy-backtraces-got-you-down.html http://jamesgolick.com/2007/12/1/noisy-backtraces-got-you-do... DHH later ported the work to Rails: https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/f42c77f927eb49b00e84d355e07de48723d03fcb.patch https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/f42c77f927eb49b00e84d3... I knew James mostly online and a little in person from various programming conferences. He was smart, funny, and kind. He made a difference. He will be missed.
