Looks like I’m looking for another consulting project; one major one just wrapped, so I have some pretty substantial hours open going into November.

  • Fixtureless datas with Machinist and Sham – Another alternative for generating repeatable test data for Rails applications. I may look into this, or try to sort out the morass of competing Factory Girl branches, for my next project.
  • authgasm – “Rails authentication done right.” The code in the readme looks nice; I haven’t walked through trying to use it yet.
  • Scaling ActiveRecord with MySQLPlus – With Rails becoming threadsafe, people are looking at other bottlenecks.
