Trello CSS Guide

“I perfectly understand our CSS. I never have any issues with cascading rules. I never have to use !important or inline styles. Even though somebody else wrote this bit of CSS, I know exactly how it works and how to extend it. Fixes are easy! I have a hard time breaking our CSS. I know exactly where to put new CSS. We use all of our CSS and it’s pretty small overall. When I delete a template, I know the exact corresponding CSS file and I can delete it all at once. Nothing gets left behind.”

You often hear updog saying stuff like this. Who’s updog? Not much, who is up with you?

Thoughts about Rails Presenters

This is a collection of links, examples and rants about Presenters/Decorators in Rails.

---

The "Decorator" pattern slowly started gaining popularity in Rails several years ago. It is not part of core Rails, and there's many different interpretations about how it should work in practice.

Jay Fields wrote about it in 2007 (before he switched back to Java and then Clojure): http://blog.jayfields.com/2007/03/rails-presenter-pattern.html

PageObject + SimpleDelegator = Awesome Capybara Helpers

I've always liked using the Page Object pattern to write concise, namespaced, and composeable capybara helpers:

When /^I register as a new user$/ do
  NewUserPage.new(self).tap do |page|
    page.visit!
    page.form.fill

page.form.submit!

When hiring Ruby on Rails programmers, knowing the right questions to ask during an interview was a real challenge for me at first. In 30 minutes or less, it's difficult to get a solid read on a candidate's skill set without looking at code they've previously written. And in the corporate/enterprise world, I often don't have access to their previous work.

To ensure we hired competent ruby developers at my last job, I created a list of 15 ruby questions -- a ruby measuring stick if you will -- to select the cream of the crop that walked through our doors.

What to expect

Candidates will typically give you a range of responses based on their experience and personality. So it's up to you to decide the correctness of their answer.
