I often find myself saying the following: "We are the sum of our mistakes, though to re-offend is to not have learned". So much is made of out and out success these days, it sets up society to be an incredibly unforgiving place an

We use Godep, it is very good. As per another answer to your question: with '-copy=false' it behaves a lot like bundler.lock. Having spent a lot of time working with it we've found a few areas where you can get burned a littl
