Why I Don't Write Web Apps (if I can help it)

This is what happens when I try to pick a language.

Note: If I didn't think it was possible to create a development environment without any of these issues (which I consider "major" for the most part), I would not have written this list.

Gems that need help with Rails 4

cucumber-rails
simple_form - has a 3.0.0.rc but it depends on rails 4.0.0.rc1
delayed_job_active_record - has a v4.0.0.beta3 so likely ready to release soon
spork-rails - has no indication of even a beta for rails 4

	Versioning is an anti-pattern
	=============================

	We often say "use the right tool for the job", but when managing change
	in software systems, we always use versioning. Hypermedia APIs are
	actually hindered by introducing versioning and manage change in a
	different way. With that in mind, there are also a lot of options for
	managing change in a Hypermedia API. We'd like to change our service and
	break as few clients as possible. Versioning is only one way to manage
	change, though... and my contention is that it's not appropriate for
