No news, good news
A great (small) post from Obie Fernandez on writing about something you actually used.
Have you actually written a Ruby on Rails application of your own
yet? Meaning, a real, useful application, in order to see what these supposedly terrific productivity and happiness benefits are all about for yourself? Have you used any Ruby in your day-to-day work yet?If your answer to the above questions is no, then please, please resist the temptation to evangelize about it. At best, you’ll come off kind of flat and uninspiring. At worst, you’ll give wrong, possibly misleading information. Reading and hearing about the benefits of Ruby and Rails is nothing compared to actually experiencing the benefits yourself. Make the jump, then tell us about it.
I guess this is the reason I don’t write much here lately ;)
This, and the fact that I didn’t work much in Rails lately, too tired, too difficult to do it alone, I don’t know. My photo album feels better, though, I finally fixed a bug I had - big images were sometimes cut - it was a RMagick related issue, must call GC.start after reading an image (more here).
PS Maybe it is also because I (finally) started a blog in romanian (less technical) at http://escu.wordpress.com. No idea :)
PS2 I love the performancing extension, always use it to blog, but I just hate those slashes (///) it adds before my quotes and double-quotes :(
