Smart spawning is a core feature of Phusion Passenger since version 1.0. It can reduce the spawning time of Rails processes by as much as 90%, and in combination with Ruby Enterprise Edition it allows you to save 33% memory on average.

However, smart spawning was limited to Rails applications only, not for Rack applications. Starting from Rails 3, all Rails 3 applications are also Rack applications, and Phusion Passenger 2 only supports smart spawning of Rails …

AuthenticationHelpers happens to be the first module I include from ApplicationController, and it lives in lib/authentication_helpers.rb. After a bid of head-scratching as to why something that has worked for ages and ages in Rails suddenly stopped working (and in between a beta and an RC release, to boot!), I remembered this change in config/application.rb from running rake rails:update:

# Custom directories with classes and modules you want to be autoloadable.

I just released a new version of Resque Mailer ( 1.0.0), my asynchronous email delivery extension for Resque [ gem ] [ src ]. If you're already using it with Rails 2.x, there really aren't any changes you need to be aware of. Go about your business. However, thanks largely to the efforts of Marcin Kulik , the gem now works in Rails 3.x as well. Thanks Marcin!

So why go 1.0.0? Because it's feature complete, used by a number of people in production, …

Don't get hung up on trying to make everything perfect. That just paralyzes you. But by picking a few things to do well, you will attract people to help you with the things you aren't doing well.

Community Wants to Help

Open Source is awesome in the way it attracts people who just want to help make something cool. Many people want to contribute their time, but only if they think their help will amount to something in the long run. They don't want to spend time and effort on …

The Ruby on Rails Tutorial book uses the latest version of Rails, which is the current release candidate of Rails 3.0.0.rc. Unfortunately, at the time of this writing, you can't deploy applications to Heroku using the Rails release candidate because of a conflict with the latest version of Bundler. See this blog post for a possible workaround.

Next up in the Nuts & Bolts series, I want to cover storage. There were a number of questions about our storage infrastructure after my new datacenter post asking about the Isilon storage cluster that is pictured.

To set the stage, I'll share some file statistics from Basecamp. On an average week day, there are around 100,000 files uploaded to Basecamp with an average file size that is currently 2MB for a total of about 200GB per day of uploaded content in …

Why? Because the past few times I tried switching to vim, I took the advice of a master vim user, and quickly sunk into the quicksand of trying to learn a new tool. In every prior attempt, I gave vim a few days before I gave up. And every time, I managed to get virtually no work done the entire time, spending about 90 percent of my day fighting with my editor (a more charitable way to put it would be "learning my editor").

Invariably, the master vim users that were helping me make …
