Passenger does not "play well" with vanilla Pry at all. This is simply the result of the way that it works. I would recommend using pry-remote [0] if your app is running inside of Passenger. [0] http://rubygems.org&#x2F

I've lived in Boulder for about 6 years now and stay for the environment. It's about a 40 minute drive from Denver on a good day and has a very different feel from the city. There's definitely a lot of opportunity in technolo

Here's a relevant Twitter conversation on Raptor from last night: https://twitter.com/brixen/status/523988304627499008 Interesting tidbit is that the DNS may show that Raptor is being developed by Phusion.
