…ten times the effort to fix a single issue in Stacker that it's going to take Sam. And the odds are that even that is not enough to appreciate the internal coherency of the system, which means that the fix is likely to be a butcher's job, and Sam will have to rewrite it afterwards anyway.
To broaden the base of knowledge, you're going to have to let someone else not only spend considerable effort getting up to speed. Then you're going to have them deal with more than …

…about Google Reader. Not much mention of any specific feature that dies with it. — Sam Schenkman-Moore (@ samsm) March 14, 2013
Must be frustrating. Google Reader competitors reading this whining get no insight into what to create to replace it. — Sam Schenkman-Moore (@ samsm) March 14, 2013
So as a sort of PSA to whomever builds the next feed reader I wind up using, here's what I think makes Google Reader so special: speed and magic.

Android has a Siri-like trick. You can ask what the weather's going to be like. You can ask about baseball stats or restaurants nearby.
But the Android assistant is also proactive. It doesn't wait for you to ask for something. Android will somehow tell you what you want to know without you needing to ask. Here's …

I was really inspired by how Sam laid out 37 initially and how we rallied around the conventions set forth to produce an extremely useful tool for everyone at 37signals. I think this pattern is worth sharing, and with some help I've extracted the pattern of how rbenv and 37 were crafted into sub: a model for laying out programs by convention.
You're more than welcome to prepare your own sub, for your organization, or just for your own personal use! They don't even …

A ramshackle den, tree house , clubhouse, fort, or "secret base" may be built in nearby scrub-land or an abandoned building.

Map of United States That Shows Scariest Thing In Each State
Dan is from Son of Sam; Monica is from Zombie Lincoln. But that's just ridiculous. Everyone knows the thing most feared in Illinois is Werewolf Corn.
…if you prefer a little help, you can try ruby-build , another project of Sam's that provides RVM esque recipes for installing seven popular Ruby implementation and version combos.
rbenv primarily works by creating 'shim' files in ~/.rbenv/shims which call up the correct version of files for each Ruby implementation behind the scenes. This means ~/.rbenv/shims will be in your path and there's no threat of incompatibilities between libraries or systems …
