//     Backbone.Rails.js
//
//     Makes Backbone.js play nicely with the default Rails setup, i.e.,
//     no need to set
//       ActiveRecord::Base.include_root_in_json = false
//     and build all of your models directly from `params` rather than
//     `params[:model]`.
//
//     Load this file after backbone.js and before your application JS.

This is a little trick I use to spin up the packages instalation on Debian/Ubuntu boxes in Vagrant.

I add a simple function that checks if a directory named something similar to ~/.vagrant.d/cache/apt/opscode-ubuntu-12.04/partial (it may have another path in Windows or MacOS) and create the directory if it doesn't already exist.

def local_cache(basebox_name)
  cache_dir = Vagrant::Environment.new.home_path.join('cache', 'apt', basebox_name)
  partial_dir = cache_dir.join('partial')
  partial_dir.mkdir unless partial_dir.exist?

Make it real

Ideas are cheap. Make a prototype, sketch a CLI session, draw a wireframe. Discuss around concrete examples, not hand-waving abstractions. Don't say you did something, provide a URL that proves it.

Ship it

Nothing is real until it's being used by a real user. This doesn't mean you make a prototype in the morning and blog about it in the evening. It means you find one person you believe your product will help and try to get them to use it.

Do it with style

# Hack to change the Rails cookie serializer from Marshal to JSON and therefore allow the session
# to be shared between different languages but also avoid that someone knowing the
# cookie secret key could execute arbitrary code on the server by unmarshalling
# modified Ruby code added to the session/permanent cookie.
#
# Note that all users will beed to login again since both the remember me cookie and the session cookies
# won't be valid. Note also that the remember me cookie is tested multiple times per request even when it fails.
# for performance reasons you might want to delete it if these extra cycles are too costly for you.
