OK, it's two weird old tricks.

First, use their bundle caching feature. It's one line added to your .travis.yml file, and significantly speeds up test runs where you haven't changed your gem bundle - which is most of the time for most people.

See more here: http://blog.travis-ci.com/2013-12-05-speed-up-your-builds-cache-your-dependencies/

Second, do some experimentation with your Ruby garbage collection settings to speed up your local test suite runs. Examples from our development environment:

	> SidekiqUniqueJobs::LockDigest.new({
	'class' => 'SidekiqQueuesMetricsWorker',
	'queue' => 'system_critical',
	'lock_args' => [],
	}).lock_digest
	# => ":c9e4f70a93ec7b29f57842219285f439"

	> r = Redis.new
	# => #<Redis client v4.8.1 for redis://hostname....

	SELECT pg_class.relname
	FROM pg_class, pg_index
	WHERE pg_index.indisvalid = false
	AND pg_index.indexrelid = pg_class.oid;

	Ruby and Ruby and Rails still feel fresh and new to me, but (surprise!) Ruby is over 20 years old, and Rails is nearly 12.

	A lot's happened in the ecosystem over time, practices have changed, gems have shot up the charts and later fallen out of favor, and new programming techniques have come on the scene.

	Keeping up with this can be a challenge, especially for those working on long-term projects and/or on stable teams with few newcomers: how do you get your job done and ship a product while also continually refining your skills and learning about new solutions & professional best practices?

	You know there are twitterers, podcasts, courses, books, and even blogs (yes, people still do those!) - but how do you find them, and which are worthwhile to invest your time and money in?

	Let's pool our knowledge and share!

	update financial_statements set new_years_in_business = years_in_business;
	update financial_statements set new_other_net_worth = other_net_worth;

	alter table financial_statements drop column years_in_business cascade, drop column other_net_worth cascade;
