Question about that.... Where do I buy that? I only see a link to buying the book. on railsspeed.com. Is there something else I buy somewhere else, or is it included if I buy the book? Kinda sounds like it's not, but I also don't see it on https://www.speedshop.co/

Hey @Willardgmoore: that package has been removed and is no longer for sale. The intended replacement is my Workshop: https://www.speedshop.co/rails-performance-workshop.html
