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.

  • Random - An alternative to faker for generating fake data in ruby. This one includes a hook to add your own file of arbitrary random data.

  • Ruby DSLs: instance_eval with delegation - Dan Manges presents an approach to sensibly using some ruby magic.

  • Ruby on Rails: Opportunity in a Financial Downturn - I agree that there's an opportunity if you're good. If you're not good, you're going to be roadkill.

  • Has My Gem Built Yet? - Service to check whether GitHub has gotten round to building a gem from your latest upload.

    Hi Mike - On the subject of Rails and an economic downturn, I think the question is this: What can newer Rails developers do to get good fast enough to avoid becoming roadkill? I posted some thoughts on this at http://usablewebapps.com/2008/10/rails-and-the-possibly-coming-economic-downturn/.
