I concur with everything I've read by Bruce Schneier re: "security theater" as practiced by the TSA, and I think the TSA could/should backtrack a lot further than merely re-allowing small knives. Post-9/11, a small knife is not a threat to

Statistically speaking, a web startup can safely not invest in TDD. For precisely same reason that a daily Russian Roulette player can safely not invest in health insurance. But for the minority who miraculously dodge the bullet, the extra

I spent the better part of high school with a copy of Lancaster's TTL Cookbook in hand (still have my dog-eared copy). Then as an undergrad in 78 I re-read this primer for success. While I was more inclined towards the 'enterprise' track, t

Thx for correcting that... have used that screen a million times without realizing they lumped dev apps and prod+dev workflow together. 3 columns would eliminate any confusion (Production Apps, Development Apps, Development Workflow) but mi

I don't think that is correct. AFAIK the 'development' side of the heroku status panel is not related to developing, per se, it's the status for apps that are not running on production-level resources... for example, single-dyno apps, or ap

Seems odd, however, that status.heroku.com lists the issue only on the development side, suggesting production apps are not affected? http://screencast.com/t/L36Hpx5dx

From a manager perspective, this sort of alert (as well as recent Heroku emails telling you specifically which app(s) needed patching for the recent Rails CVE issues) is a great example of one of the extra benefits of Heroku. A team of eng

The downvotes are overzealous in this case. A comment like this offers useful additional info/context about other languages that offer comparable capability, since many developers keep more than one type of screwdriver in their toolbox (or

We do something similar, but a little simpler. Each object in our database has a short guid. (In our case, the guids have a type-identifier so by inspection we can tell if a guid is for a user, or text message, or whatever.) We pass the gui
