Thanks for the feedback. We actually don't do a great deal of pair-programming, but it made for a short title that got the point across. I agree that positioning it as the problem was a poor choice of words on my part. I do disagree ab

I am a serious layman when it comes to this type of stuff, but I swear I remember reading about similar wireless power years ago. I even remember seeing a video of a lightbulb being illuminated without being attached to anything. What makes

I often find myself feeling the same way about using gems in ruby. It's amazing how quickly I can get something extremely functional built out by adding a handful of gems, but after a few months I look back and realize how much extra (

Very cool! I really hate getting a bunch of visio flow charts to describe processes - those aren't things that I can easily modify without having the proper application. Does anybody know of other tools that take some sort of simple la

Great suggestion. I've read his classic posts, but I haven't gone beyond those. I'll take a deeper look. Thanks.

But honestly, I have none of these problems. If one of our clients tell us any of the above, we explain to them why that's not the case, and if they continue to press us, we show them the door. We solved that problem early on - now we&

And I'm SO thankful for this. It really makes selling a client on the service much easier, since many of them seem to only care about fancy spash pages...

I agree, for the most part. Not every setup can be open sourced, and not everybody has the capacity to contribute frequently. I lead a small tech team of 4, and we are usually pretty busy. When we're using an open-source tool that we f

Hmm... I don't doubt that this happened to you, or that it does happen often, but as someone who was in charge of a fairly successful online community with tens of thousands of community members and upwards of a million posts, I'm

I haven't used it, but read up on it after starting to use the Reform gem. It seems more geared toward forcing cleaner, more encapsulated code, which should make your rails app more maintainable in the long run. I don't think that

I was not able to replicate this on Amazon's linux distro after the second patch was applied. After only the first patch, though, the server was still vulnerable.

EBS has historically had a few issues, and the performance is fairly poor. I've personally never had any issues with them in the 4 years that I've used AWS.

I absolutely love visuals like this. There are things that I don't think I ever would have understood had I not seen an animated sequence of events like the ones on this site. I can forgive the heavy use of text within the images, sinc

We ran into a couple issues (none of them significant) 1. When someone merges their branch into development for QA, it's going to be there (with or without issues) for anyone else who merges for QA after that. If the first merge has bi

The branching model that I use with my team projects used to be like this - master was always production code, development was always code ready for QA, and features would be branched off and development. It worked great for larger projects

I've been using a similar setup with Pomander and the Pomander-Wordpress plugin. It's got a similar setup, but is 100% PHP-based, so I don't need to have ruby on all my servers. Been using it in production on about 15 servers
