a simple git branching model (written in 2013)

This is a very simple git workflow. It (and variants) is in use by many people. I settled on it after using it very effectively at Athena. GitHub does something similar; Zach Holman mentioned it in this talk.

Update: Woah, thanks for all the attention. Didn't expect this simple rant to get popular.

Nginx FastCGI response buffer sizes

By default when Nginx starts receiving a response from a FastCGI backend (such as PHP-FPM) it will buffer the response in memory before delivering it to the client. Any response larger than the set buffer size is saved to a temporary file on disk.

This process is outlined at the Nginx ngx_http_fastcgi_module page manual page.

Dependency Injection in Ruby 07 Oct 04

Introduction

At the 2004 Ruby Conference, Jamis Buck had the unenviable task to explain Dependency Injection to a bunch of Ruby developers. First of all, Dependency Injection (DI) and Inversion of Control (IoC) is hard to explain, the benefits are subtle and the dynamic nature of Ruby make those benefits even more marginal. Furthermore examples using DI/IoC are either too simple (and don’t convey the usefulness) or too complex (and difficult to explain in the space of an article or presentation). I once attempted to explain DI/IoC to a room of Java programmers (see onestepback.org/articles/dependencyinjection/), so I can’t pass up trying to explain it to Ruby developers.

Thanks goes to Jamis Buck (the author of the Copland DI/IoC framework) who took the time to review this article and provide feedback.

	# CORS header support
	#
	# One way to use this is by placing it into a file called "cors_support"
	# under your Nginx configuration directory and placing the following
	# statement inside your location block(s):
	#
	# include cors_support;
	#
	# As of Nginx 1.7.5, add_header supports an "always" parameter which

	TODO: make gem for this

	This was tested using Rails 3.2 and Rails 4.0 on Ruby 2.0.0.

	1. Set the install directory for Bower components:

	```js
	// .bowerrc

	<!-- File: app/views/layouts/application.html.erb -->

	<%= yield %>

	#!/bin/bash

	# Thu Nov 7 18:43:39 IST 2013, [email protected] (ramonrails)
	# Borrowed from gitflow & bumpversion (URLs referenced below) and enhanced further

	# works with a file called VERSION in the current directory,
	# the contents of which should be a semantic version number
	# such as "1.2.3"

	# this script will display the current version, automatically
