Git Commit Snapshots

Snap a picture of yourself on every commit.

Probably Mac OS X only, I haven't looked into others.

$ brew install imagesnap
$ git config --global init.templatedir '~/.git_template'
$ chmod +x post-commit

My issues with Modules

In researching topics for RailsCasts I often read code in Rails and other gems. This is a great exercise to do. Not only will you pick up some coding tips, but it can help you better understand what makes code readable.

A common practice to organize code in gems is to divide it into modules. When this is done extensively I find it becomes very difficult to read. Before I explain further, a quick detour on instance_eval.

You can find instance_eval used in many DSLs: from routes to state machines. Here's an example from Thinking Sphinx.

The no-peeping-toms gem doesn't work properly with Rails 3.2.3.
