ruby-1.9.3-p327 cumulative performance patch for rbenv

This installs a patched ruby 1.9.3-p327 with various performance improvements and a backported COW-friendly GC, all courtesy of funny-falcon.

Requirements

• rbenv
• ruby-build

You will also need a C Compiler. If you're on Linux, you probably already have one or know how to install one. On OS X, you should install XCode, and brew install autoconf using homebrew.

#Practical Object Oriented Design in Ruby

Design that anticipate specific future requirements almost always end badly.
Practical design does not anticipate what will happen to your application, it merely accepts that something
will and that, in the present, you cannot know what. It does not guess the future; it preserves your options for accommodating the future.
It doesn't choose; it leaves you room to move.
The purpose of design it to allow you to do it later and its primary goal is to reduce the cost of change.

Design is more the art of preserving changeability than it is the act of achieving perfection.

(a gist based on the old toolmantim article on setting up remote repos)

To collaborate in a distributed development process you’ll need to push code to remotely accessible repositories.

This is somewhat of a follow-up to the previous article setting up a new rails app with git.

For the impatient

Set up the new bare repo on the server:
