Title:

Clever ideas from 2 years ago

Abstract:

In Late September, 2010, I left my job in Boston at 3M and moved across the country to work at Engine Yard in San Francisco.

I brought with me a collection of 40 open source repositories I had extracted from my work. I thought they would be invaluable, but I didn’t use a single one.

Did my skill in working with ruby on rails improve? Not substantially. What changed almost immediately, was my mindset. Though I didn’t realize it at the time, I was infected the moment I pair programmed.

So let me take you on a little tour of the archives, and reflect on them now with my shifted mindset. I'll explain an overly complex permissions system, a method of doing view inheritance, and SOA using AMQP with shared memcached.

Who knew that building web services for dental imaging devices would share so little in common with maintaining a platform for running rails apps?

Reviewer Notes:

My Archives can be found here: https://github.com/jacob-brontes

Don't worry, I can't possibly cover even 10%.

My personal github is: https://github.com/jacobo
