Is this even the real Mike Burns?

Re: Foreman as process manager, Pow as DNS server

qrush — Wed, 09 Jan 2013 14:57:28 -0000

Why wouldn't you just use Pow's normal setup for hosting rack apps locally? Just seems like a lot of work when just symlinking $PWD to ~/.pow already is fine. Thin shouldn't be doing anything different than Pow, Passenger, etc locally.

Re: Using the Draper Gem, Round One

qrush — Thu, 23 Aug 2012 10:28:08 -0000

Totally agree here, except for the preferring Draper part. Maybe I need to see its use in an app, but I don't feel that its added complexity is compelling enough to use. They're just views, there's more fun problems to solve elsewhere :)

Re: Rounded Corners With Ruby Motion

Went through a ridiculous amount of SO answers about rounding corners, and this was the only example I could get working. Thanks for posting this.

MIND BENDING.

Feeling the same way here. This just feels really overly excessive. You're just building strings.

I don't have anything better to say here, it's just there's no way I would lean on FactoryGirl to do this specific task. I guess if you had a lot of custom logic like this sprinkled around a test suite, it would be nicer to extract it into a method or out into FG.

Congrats guys!

Code reviews make a huge difference than this. Having someone else try to grok what you just wrote in a pull request goes a long way, and doesn't require another tool set/chain to get going.

Why not a constant?

Upgrading to Rails 3.2 will also silence these, without the need for a setting per database/app.

Re: How To Use Arguments In a Rake Task

qrush — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 10:19:00 -0000

I've always found rake task arguments to be terribly gross.

There was a pull request open forever ago that I doubt will ever get merged: https://github.com/jimweiri...

I'd rather just use Thor if you need to have some task run with arguments...it's already in Rails and the DSL is cleaner.

I have no idea what you said here but I like it.

Awesome job Josh! What version of Ruby are those benchmarks using?

Re: Use Bundler’s binstubs!

qrush — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 10:49:28 -0000

Mostly because there will be a lot of unused files/clutter in bin/. I'd rather only keep what I care about: rake, bundle, cap, etc, and not *every* single executable that every gem in my Gemfile has.

Re: Use Bundler’s binstubs!

qrush — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 09:13:06 -0000

This tends to install way too many bin stubs in our bin/ directory that we don't care about.
The pattern we've been using is:

echo "bin/stubs" >> .gitignore
bundler install --binstubs=bin/stubs

And then copy the binstubs you need out of bin/stubs. (You only need to run that once, bundler remembers it in .bundle/config).

Re: Why Bundler 1.1 will be much faster - Pat Shaughnessy

qrush — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 16:06:45 -0000

Keith, if you're serious about this and making it better, let's talk about how to improve it. I originally wrote the server side stuff that Bundler uses and it's definitely meant to be an iterative process.

My email is nick@quaran.to, or just jump on freenode, I'm in the #rubygems channel.

Re: The Durable Document Store You Didn’t Know You Had, But Did

How does the XML parsing speed compare to Nokogiri? Basically, I'm wondering if keeping the XML around on the filesystem, reading it, parsing it would be as fast (or faster).

Where does the `gcdata` patch come from, or does RVM just work some match to make it happen?

Re: Danger, Danger: High Voltage! Use Rails 3.1 for Static Sites

The whole point is that I *want* to use the asset pipeline...if not, then sure I'd rather use that or Jekyll.

Re: Test Rake Tasks Like a BOSS

qrush — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 17:26:05 -0000

This feels like an awful lot of effort for me, when all of this could be tested from a class level inside of the application. Why not just say `UserReportGenerator.generate` and test the behavior in there instead of needing to stub/fake out Rake?

Obviously, I understand it's important to verify your code is doing what it's doing, but this 1) locks you down to rake and 2) is really brittle with a lot of stubbing/mocking :(

You're also forgetting about the 100s of network calls to each gemspec file :(

Awesome writeup, Pat. I think this is probably just "Version 1.0" of making Bundler better. The awesome part about Gemcutter/Rubygems.org is that now we can use Ruby to make our own tools faster, and everyone in the community benefits.
