My Rabbi has a blog. My synagogue sends out so much email, I want to put them in a spam folder. As my ancestors did in the old country.
Successful use of git bisect today. That's a handy piece of code.
@AndyMaleh Thanks. Actually I was thinking more along the lines of a blog post -- the last thing I need right now is another book project.
@aberant Now _that_ sounds like a very entertaining Geekfest.
I've gotten four antipatterns so far -- congrats to the rest of you who are clearly working on great agile projects.
I'm collecting Agile anti-patterns, as in "Your project isn't agile if mgmt says iterations can't be less than 5 weeks". Got any to share?
@ethangunderson I think a social component to recognize good comments or refactors could be cool. Implementation details matter a lot.
There are still seats available for Obtiva's Ruby on Rails TDD Boot camp, Jan 13-16, check it out at http://www.obtiva.com/service.... Thanks!
.@rbates @qrush I just switched all my code editors to Inconsolata -- http://www.levien.com/type.... I find it really nice to look at all day.
Not that you asked, but my new year's resolution (hope?) is to write something that actually justifies having a Scrivener license.
I guess I mean anybody other than 37signals, seeing as how @dhh just mentioned their Rails 3 project.
So, is anybody trying to build real apps against Rails 3 edge? Or are too many plugins broken to make it worth trying?
It occurs to me that "pair programming" is not a synonym for "put twice as many developers in the same physical space".
I wrote a blog post. If it seems choppy, it's because I wrote 2 sentences a day for the last 3 weeks. The Agile Bet: http://railsrx.wordpress.com/2010....
Hey, have we gone all this time without the Internet doing a mashup between James Cameron's Avatar and @feliciaday 's?
@rbates I've been having problems with some of the cucumber formatters not initializing properly.
#10yearsago I was building web sites, but in ColdFusion. ColdFusion to Rails is progress, right?
@ajwalters Oh my god -- I hope everything is okay.
.@redsquirrel When I drop TDD for experimenting it's because I don't know what the code should do yet, not because I don't know the API.
@redsquirrel But there are cases where TDD works better than others. Hmm. Three tweets probably means I should actually write a blog post.
.@redsquirrel I'm dubious of the claim that TDD freezes the API to early, and much more likely to find TDD leads to better code.
.@redsquirrel Yeah, he does avoid a lot of the strawman arguments against TDD. I don't agree fully, but it's a pretty measured argument.
@jm The thing is, I like Cucumber. I just don't see what adding that layer to Test::Unit buys you. I'll have to try it, I guess.
Nice history of Ruby/Rails integration testing http://robots.thoughtbot.com/post.... I admit I don't see the value of Coulda or Gibbon. What am I missing?
@aberant Yeah, I would use that.
.@ktaylor I had somebody see my avatar on Google Wave and tell me I look like Bill Gates. Does that count?
Rails gone wild: http://gist.github.com/265308 (via @MikeG1) // Do I like this? Not sure. I like that it can be done.
@bphogan Congratulations!
I would so love it if @marsedit had support for Zen Coding.
