Simple 'database cleaner' approach using `config.around`. Was able to cut down some seconds out of the suite. Thanks to @brandonhilkert
RSpec.configure do |config|
config.around do |example|
# For examples using capybara-webkit for example.
# Remove this if you don't use it or anything similar
if example.metadata[:js]
example.run
ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute("TRUNCATE #{ActiveRecord::Base.connection.tables.join(',')} RESTART IDENTITY")
else
ActiveRecord::Base.transaction do

15 Questions to Ask During a Ruby Interview

Originally published in June 2008

When hiring Ruby on Rails programmers, knowing the right questions to ask during an interview was a real challenge for me at first. In 30 minutes or less, it's difficult to get a solid read on a candidate's skill set without looking at code they've previously written. And in the corporate/enterprise world, I often don't have access to their previous work.

To ensure we hired competent ruby developers at my last job, I created a list of 15 ruby questions -- a ruby measuring stick if you will -- to select the cream of the crop that walked through our doors.

What to expect

Candidates will typically give you a range of responses based on their experience and personality. So it's up to you to decide the correctness of their answer.

Find invalid records in Rails.
namespace :db do
desc "Outputs any invalid data records"
task :invalid_records => :environment do
puts "\n** Testing record validating in #{Rails.env.capitalize} environment**\n"
ActiveRecord::Base.send(:subclasses).each do |model|
puts "#{model} records (#{model.count})"
next if model.count == 0
invalid = model.all.reject(&:valid?)
if invalid.size.zero?

Ruby 2.1 memory configuration

This all applies to Ruby 2.1. In some cases a setting is not available in 2.0, this is noted. There is also a different with 1.9, 1.8, and REE --- these are not noted.

All the relevant code is in https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/master/gc.c

RUBY_HEAP_MIN_SLOTS

default: 10000

The number of heap slots to start out with. This should be set high enough so that your app has enough or almost enough memory after loading so that it doesn't have to allocate more memory on the first request (althogh this probably isn't such a big deal for most apps).

(todo: figure out how big a slot is. i think the answer can be infered from this code.)
