eprothro / cache.rake
Last active December 14, 2015 09:29
A simple rake file with tasks to: 1) clear the rails cache 2) give statistics for a memcache protocol store (e.g., Dalli)
namespace :cache do
task :clear => :environment do
puts "=> Clearning Rails cache..."
Rake::Task["cache:stats"].invoke
puts "\n `Rails.cache.clear` => " + Rails.cache.clear.to_s + "\n\n"
# manually reset the stats, as clearing the cache doesn't do so
Rails.cache.dalli.reset_stats if Rails.cache.try(:dalli).respond_to? :reset_stats
Rake::Task["cache:stats"].reenable

eprothro / communication via narrative.md
Last active January 4, 2023 16:58
Connextra, Gherkin, and Free-form prose for multidisciplinary communication via narrative.

Overview

Getting clients, managers, project managers, designers, and developers on the same page when it comes to feature expectations is hard. Everyone speaking the same language (literally) can go a long way to achieving the same, metaphorically.

There are three common formats that are great for written and verbal communication between stakeholders with different backgrounds, responsibilities, and risk exposures. They are each natural-language, narrative formats (they use plain english) that anyone can understand, but their structrued nature is proven to help clearly communicate behavior, specify intent and synchronize expectations.

Connextra user stories

  • Great for high level feature description
  • Typically bad for detailed behavior description

Dynamic Octopus configuration for master/slave horizontal DB scaling with a Rails application on the Heroku stack. See the wiki page for more info: https://github.com/tchandy/octopus/wiki/Replication-with-Rails-on-Heroku. Props to Heroku for the idea, gleaned from the dynamic database.yml they inject at build-time for rails apps.
