How We Deployed Image Processing to Heroku in Support of a Rails 6 Application

Our app was already deployed and working on Heroku with MiniMagick. There were a few features of Image Processing that were appealing, performance and autorotation, and it appeared to be a straightforward swap.

Locally, we had run brew install vips on our MacBooks to get it running. That was early in the process and a detail long forgotten. When I deployed to Heroku @juliancheal pointed out that the staging environment was failing with an ActiveSupport::MessageVerifier::InvalidSignature error.

We were able to quickly identify the missing libvips dependency.

Figuring out how to install libvips to support rubyvips to support Image Processing was not trivial and therefore this guidepost exists.

Mechanics, Myths, and Mints: Swallowing the Pair Programming Pill
By Jim "Big Tiger" Remsik

Pair programming is a helpful tool for your development toolbox when you understand how it works and what are the benefits.  We'll address common misconceptions of managers ("Two people sitting at one desk? That's going to cost twice as much!") and how to assuage these concerns.  We will delve into the common fears of developers ("I won't be able to get into 'The Zone'", "I can't read RSS.", "They find out I'm not a good developer.").  We'll examine numerous configurations, ergonomics, and available tools for both co-located and geographically distributed teams. Finally, we'll wrap up with a discussion on the utility of pairing mixed skill peoples together (Designer/Developer, Blind/Deaf, Cat/Dog) to achieve a result that is more than the sum of its parts.

Find a partner and go out into Madison and capture three images of each of these opposites. The pair of opposites
should be included in each picture.

Hot and Cold.
Light and dark.
Hot and cold.
Good and evil.
Mobile and stationary

The idea is to find an example of each of these topics and then tweet them with the Hashtag #SnowMobilympics and
