All quiet on the Western Front

Courtenay : June 30th, 2008

It’s been a while since I blogged here. Mainly, I think it’s because as I get deep into the daily grind of building other people’s social apps, I no longer feel like any of the code I’m writing is worthy of a post. This is not to say that I don’t love my work, just that maybe the techniques we’re using aren’t that special. (Maybe I’m wrong. Lots of people at Rails Conf came up to me and said they love reading this blog.)

So, readers, what content do you want to see on the Caboose blog moving forward?

    Dancing pandas. And docbox!

    And everything that everyone else isnt writting about (aka. Nothing about deployment, partials, named_scope, edge rails, Security Vulnerabilities, your wedding plans, babies or any other personal details.)

    Basically docbox and dancing pandas.

    Give the people what they want.

    How about nifty ways to sneak Ruby in to other stuff, like iPhone or Android development? That should be sufficiently challenging enough to not totally bore us ... maybe ;)

    I am with dr Nic about hearing that rails does not scale :)

    Nifty ways, like using sharding for scalability, would be very helpful.

    Thanks!

    I get the subjective feeling that Rails blogging in general has decreased over the past few months. I think everyone is active on paid or open source projects and has less time to write articles.

    You hit the nail on the head. I've not felt like writing anything in a long time for the same reason. I don't even have the #caboose irc password anymore. Sigh.

    I'm only really working on merb/datamapper stuff these days, would people be interested in seeing stuff like that?
