A Fresh Cup is Mike Gunderloy's software development weblog, covering Ruby on Rails and whatever else I find interesting in the universe of software. I'm a full-time Rails developer and contributor, available for long- or short-term consulting, with solid experience in working as part of a distributed team. If you'd like to hire me, drop me a line. I'm also the author of Rails Rescue Handbook and Rails Freelancing Handbook.

Double Shot #321

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.
