At the end of the day, you have to ship code. Or sleep.

State of the Hub: Rackspace day 1

HI folks, just wanted to give you all a little feedback on the move again. Get everyone up to speed on the currently known issues.

First and foremost, if you are having any troubles, please don’t hesitate to open a ticket on Tender. If you have an outstanding ticket, please be patient, we’ve not forgotten you. We’re still working through the backlog of tickets to make sure everything gets fixed. I myself took care of roughly 60 tickets early this afternoon, and the inbox is still rising.

Table Aliasing and Legacy Naming

So you have a User model in your Rails app... by default Rails will look for a “users” table.

class User < ActiveRecord::Base

Pimpin' [Software Projects] Ain't Easy

I spent this weekend at CURUCamp—that is, Central European Ruby Camp—here in Vienna. It totally kicked ass, I got to hang out with friends, make new friends, and learn stuff.

(Plus, thanks to Jürgen the organizer, I now know a place where I can get a decent mojito in stodgy old Vienna. Good thing, too, cuz I feel a mojito-emergency coming on in the near future.

But I digress.)

And I gave a short talk of my own: Pimpin' [Software Projects] Ain't Easy.
