I'm planning on building a playbook for Travis as we go along and refine our monitoring and alerts, it's a neat idea.
Sleepless in Seattle
There's a psychological side to being on-call that needs a lot of getting used to: the thought that an alert could go off at any time. While that's a natural thing, as failures do happen all the time, it's easy to mess up your head. It certainly did that for me.

If you expect your framework to hold your hand through the battle field, you're going to end up hitting a mine at some point and if you don't understand or know how to write vanilla JavaScript, you will never escape.

Continuous Integration?
I mentioned that I like CI to be setup immediately for new applications. That's next. Jenkins, Travis CI (when they release private application support), and what other CI systems should be supported?

Run rake tasks without bundle exec .
Avoid deprecation warning for rdoc rake task.

Travis Schmeisser's talk was great also. I've worked with Travis in the past when I was at Hashrocket and he was at nGen Works. Not only is he a super smart lad but a very talented designer. I had high expectations walking in and wasn't disappointed.
I won't touch on the talks that I didn't like as I don't want to be too negative. The one thing I will say is; don't listen to people telling you to be a ‘celebrity.' Forget trying to be …
