infinity_test
This is my test suite setup:
For a rather large Rails project:
Looking at the Gemfile, I feel the need to clean it up. But this works pretty good at the moment :)
Setting up infinity test was soooo easy and well documented, it really was fun: https://github.com/tomas-stefano/infinity_test
Thanks to watchr, and rvm, who made this project possible!
A problem with the way we declare private methods in Ruby is the fact that when a class gets larger and more private methods are added to it, we lose sight of whether we are looking at a private, protected or public method. This is because the private declaration is a few hundred lines…
This is why I miss a private do ... end block sometimes. But I’ll be the repeating private declaration in future.
I like the modular approach too, especially when you have huge classes. I like this post :)
Reading this article and comments really helps understanding, which kind of trouble my girlfriend is going through. She’s doing her PhD in Biochemistry at the Harvard Medical School.
The environment she’s working in, is pure competition. The lack of collaboration efforts in her lab is a huge waste of resources and motivation.
As competition is a key motivator, I for my part have to admit: I love competition. BUT:
- Sabotage is more than cheating, it’s what makes you a loser
- I’m aiming to achieve something with my team, and I have a great one!
- Science is more of a fame game to me than real business
Like many people already doing so, I’ve been digging into Redis and other NoSQL products.
Unlike all those anti-SQL fanboys, I have 15+ years of experience in RDBMS, and I know the relational algebra has a lot more mathematical implications in practice than the CAP theorem, not to mention the…
great article!
Combining find_or_create with rspec and factory_girl
I like find_or_create a lot, and factory_girl is one of my favorites :) So during my specs, I’d like to create some factories in case they didn’t exist already.
Well you should really not do this too often, because hitting the database and then again slows down your tests alot.
Emacs meets groovy and grails
finally working with emacs when it comes down to groovy and grails.

Anonymous asked: urbanvention.com sagt nicht viel aus. auf was in welchem segment mit welchen zielgruppen habt ihr euch spezialisiert?
Softwareentwicklung mit einem Fokus auf Webapplikationen wuerde ich mal als unser konkretes Segment angeben, da wir derzeit fast ausschliesslich solche Projektanfragen bekommen.
Entrepreneurs und Design-Agenturen bilden den Grossteil unserer aktuellen Kunden.
Wir haben unsere Kunden durch Empfehlungen und Twitter bekommen. Sobald sich die Auftragslage aendert, werden wir unsere Seite mal aktualisieren :)
Danke der Nachfrage!

Ey man, so wunderschoen.
Links are supposed to be blue!
Would drivers be more or less likely to stop at this ‘redesigned’ stop sign?
There are calls to action in this world. In many cases these rely on visual cues, signs and symbols. As a society, and even as a species, we communicate through a ‘universal’ visual language. This language comes from experience, from government, from cultural trends and taste, and many other sources.
Haha, I love this article :D Never thought about click rates when coloring links. Noob me ;)
