Hi everyone, I'm Chris Wanstrath.

When Jeremy asked me to come talk, I said yes.  Hell yes.  Immediately.  But
then I took a few moments and thought, Wait, why?  Why me?  What am I supposed
to say that's interesting?  Something about Ruby, perhaps.  Maybe the
future of it.  The future of something, at least.  That sounds
keynote-y.

Programming Achievements: How to Level Up as a Developer

1. Select a particular experience to pursue.
2. Pursue that experience to completion. (Achievement unlocked!)
3. Reflect on that experience. Really soak it in. Maybe a blog post would be in order?
4. Return to Step 1, this time selecting a new experience.

This gist is a fork of the gist from this blog post.

   This program contains a simple micro-benchmark for a Disruptor [1] like
   event buffer (or at least what I think that Disruptor might be). There
   isn't any kind of API yet and this test is currently limited to a
   single producer - single consumer architecture, but generally the 
   architecture of Disruptor is also well suited for multiple producers and 
   consumers.
