"worth it" is a tricky one for me to assess without more context — I think that all depends on whether or not you have any problems he can help you solve. Are you currently dealing with a mess, or a project that feels hard to change? > Also, have you used any open-source tooling in the way suggested in the blog > post? I can't remember what he mentions in the blog post, but I've used scripts like the ones he talks about (and shares) in the first book. I suspect he evolved them into his startup (CodeScene). They were very useful. I remember thinking "what I really need is to build a tool that will let the team look at data like this, for any given feature" or "for any given fortnight". I was working on a 3 year old monolithic web app that had seen about 80 different developers working on it at the time. It'd be largely pointless on small or new Rails projects though. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "North West Ruby User Group (NWRUG)" group.
