brief summary of massive performance improvements with JRuby
# Thee will be more information here when I share the entire problem space I'm working on, but
# in short, this is preview material for my second talk in a series called "What Computer Scientists Know".
# The first talk is on recursion, and goes through several examples., leading up to a problem based
# on a simple puzzle that initial estimates based on performance of a previous puzzle would take years
# to solve on modern computers with the techniques shown in Ruby. That sets the stage for improving the
# performance of that problem with threading, concurrency, and related tuning.
#
# The second talk is on threading and concurrency, touching on algorithmic performance as well.
# Using some knowledge of the problem (board symmetry, illegal moves, etc), we reduce the problem space
# to about .5% of what we initially thought it was. Still, the initial single threaded solution took more

Rails Rspec model testing skeleton & cheat sheet using rspec-rails, shoulda-matchers, shoulda-callbacks, and factory_girl_rails. Pretty much a brain dump of examples of what you can (should?) test in a model. Pick & choose what you like, and please let me know if there are any errors or new/changed features out there. Reddit comment thread: http…
# This is a skeleton for testing models including examples of validations, callbacks,
# scopes, instance & class methods, associations, and more.
# Pick and choose what you want, as all models don't NEED to be tested at this depth.
#
# I'm always eager to hear new tips & suggestions as I'm still new to testing,
# so if you have any, please share!

# This skeleton also assumes you're using the following gems:

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.
