Dear Rubyists,

I just lost a contract because of my code in a Rails project.

The specific code in question is related to a "posting a comment" feature. Here are the details:

In this project, "posting a comment" does not simply entail inserting a row into the database. It involves a procedure to yes, insert a row, but also detect its language, check for spam, send emails, and "share" it to Twitter and Facebook. I believe this algorithm should be encapsulated. I do not believe it belongs in a controller or a model. I do not believe Active Record callbacks should be used.

The "senior developer", whom is the stake holder's right hand man, said this:

#include and #extend have same effect on instances as inheritance

Let's say we have this

module A; end
module B; end
class C; end
class D < C; end

Then we modify instance

bernardeli

first: brew install highlight

second: add to your .zshrc (or .bashrc)

  function hlr {
    filename=`echo $1 | cut -d . -f 1`
    highlight --syntax ruby -k Menlo -K 20 -O rtf -s edit-xcode $1 > $filename.rtf
  }

third: it will generate a .rtf file. just open and copy the highlighted code and add to your Keynote talk.

# Summary
# 1. Varnish will poll the backend at /health_check to make sure it is
#    healthy. If the backend goes down, varnish will server stale content
#    from the cache for up to 1 hour.
# 2. Varnish will pass X-Forwarded-For headers through to the backend
# 3. Varnish will remove cookies from urls that match static content file
#    extensions (jpg, gif, ...)
