15 Questions to Ask During a Ruby Interview

Originally published in June 2008

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.

How to dump the iOS simulator memory

Dumping the iOS simulator memory

To audit memory or to debug with external tools it can be useful to get a dump of the running memory of an app.

To do so on a device you'll need a Jailbreak, SSH access, and gdb. See this or this.

If instead you're up to a simulated app, things are easier: apps running in the simulator are actually just native processes on your Mac OS X.

So, how to get a core dump of a Mac OS X process? Sadly gdb can't do so. Mac OS X Internals comes to the rescue with this article.

class CompressedRequests
def initialize(app)
@app = app
end
def method_handled?(env)
!!(env['REQUEST_METHOD'] =~ /(POST|PUT)/)
end
def encoding_handled?(env)

# Usage: to configure and install using Bundler, pass in 'bundle' as an argument to the script.
#
# Nokogiri works at a very low level, so it has many issues on various platforms.
# As a result, the command `install gem nokogiri` often will fail. This fix is for
# errors involving 'libiconv', such as the following one I encountered:

Gerrit vs Github for code review and codebase management

Gerrit vs Github: for code review and codebase management

Sure, Github wins on the UI. Hands down. But, despite my initial annoyance with Gerrit when I first started using it almost a year ago, I am now a convert. Fully. Let me tell you why.

Note: This is an opinionated (on purpose) piece. I assume your preferences are like mine on certain ideas, such as:

  • Fast-forward submits to the target branch are better than allowing merge commits to the target branch. The reason I personally prefer this is that, even if a non-conflicting merge to the target branch is possible, the fact that the review/pull request is not up to date with the latest on the target branch means feature branch test suite runs in the CI pipeline reporting on the review/PR may not be accurate. Another minor point is that forced merge commits are annoying as fuck (opinion) and clutter up Git log histories unnecessarily and I prefer clean histories.
  • Atomic/related changes all in one commit is something worth striving for. Having your dev
