Version conflicts and dependency hells can be very time-consuming and annoying, too. Ruby-on-Rails programs for example need the right combination of Ruby Version (for example Ruby 1.8.7 or 1.9.2), the right Ruby-On-Rails Version (2.3.8 or 3.2), and the right RubyGems Version (say 1.3.5). The gems or plugins have their own versions, too. The whole system only works if everything fits together. In the beginning this is no problem, for a new system usually everything is up-to-date. …

Back in January, newly-minted Ruby Hero Sandi Metz introduced her rules for developers in an episode of Ruby Rogues Book Club .

I encourage you to listen to the podcast or read over the transcript.

The day that the discussion of these rules started at thoughtbot, we were about to start a new project. While they may be targeted at less experienced developers, we thought that they could have interesting implications in the code we wrote. The team agreed to stick …

Cinco and Co and I (center with glasses)

Mentors agree to commit at least two hours a week for 12 weeks working with the girls and their teacher/coaches to build their mobile application. Every Tuesday, I left work a little early to make my commitment to the girls. Part of what makes me love working at New Relic is the support (financial, time and energy energy) and encouragement with which everyone has backed these efforts.

For the last four months, I've gotten to know five very …

If you love something you should set it free or lose everything . Fred Wilson observes: This is a classic case of the innovator's dilemma. RIM felt that letting BBM out in the open would make it easier for Blackberry users to leave. So they kept it proprietary. For way too long. Now they no longer have a dominant smartphone franchise or a dominant mobile messenger franchise.

When Big Data ecosystems start merging it's not the end of the world, but building a different …

This week we released the first release candidate version of Devise that is fully compatible with Rails 4, and we're bumping its version to 3.0. This version completely drops support for Rails 3.1 and Ruby 1.8.7, only keeping compatibility with both Rails 3.2 and Rails 4, running with Ruby 1.9.3 and 2.0.

This rc version took some time to get ready, we've been running a rails4 branch for some time already and one of the reasons was because of the changes required to make …

We can work through prototyping ideas with Solidify , iterate quickly, test those ideas and teach our customers to prototype long after we've engaged with them on a project. When clients come back, we can re-engage at a higher level. Our clients now have access to the same specialized tools we use. Our product design suite continues to get better every day.

In the process of working through a project, customers will eventually need to hire employees to own our work that we've …
