How slow are Ruby exceptions as compared to other frequent actions we may be doing in Rails apps. Like for example, as compared to ActiveRecord::Base#create

Monolithic applications are great when you start building your company, but as time progresses, they become difficult to maintain. These codebases, as they grow, easily become Big Balls of Mud.

We are pleased to announce the release of Ruby 2.4.0-preview3.

Ruby 2.4.0-preview3 is the third preview of Ruby 2.4.0. This preview3 is released to get feedback from the community. Feel free to send feedbacksince you can still influence the features.

Lately I’ve been questioned about how to maintain a codebase through the years and how to work on/find quality metrics.A lot of people come from previous background where just vi/nano is required to lash out some code and moving to Ruby/Chef it seems only the language changed but there wasn’t much investment on better software development practices.

Have you ever wanted to know what your Ruby program is doing? ruby-stacktrace can tell you! Maybe.this is alpha, Linux-only software. It will very likely crash. If it crashes, the rest of your system should probably be fine (it shouldn't crash your Ruby). But I wouldn't totally swear that.
