Recipes With Backbone:

Rails 3.2 ships with a simple FileWatcher that only reloads your app if any of the files changed.

Besides, it also provides a mechanism to hook up your own file watcher mechanism, so we can use tools like FSSM that hooks into Mac OS X fsevents. This is an example on how to hook your own mechanism (you need Rails master, soon to be Rails 3.2):

Copy the 2_file_watcher.rb file below to lib/file_watcher.rb
Add the following inside your Application in config/application.rb

if Rails.env.development?

Slow tests are a code smell

Measure your test performance with e.g. CI Reporter and refactor slow tests.

Extract domain objects from your fat models. ActiveRecord is not your domain.
Decouple code that doesn't follow the Single Responsibility Principle.
Inject dependencies instead of referring to globals like Rails or User.

From my experience, tests that don't require "test_helper" reveal the coupling in your application.

	# Here a few bash one-liners that helped me analyze / fight a weak DOS attack against debuggable.com. Mostly for future reference.
	# The attacker was opening lots of tcp connections without sending data, I believe it's called a SYN flood, see: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4987#section-3.2

	# Step 0: Check what is going on at port 80
	$ netstat -tan \| grep ':80 ' \| awk '{print $6}' \| sort \| uniq -c

	# Step 1: Increase the number of available fds

	// And important point to remember is that and width
