Standup 01/19/2012: Dont stretch those cables

How to scrub production data

  • try my_obfuscate
  • use handcrafted update-all sql

Interesting Things

  • Do not stretch monitor cables, they make the ports break
  • MySql: Different os have different rules on table case sensitivity(My_Table <-> my_table), be strict or you get into trouble
  • validates_acceptance_of can crash your asest:precompile on heroku (because it uses the db when loaded, but db is not yet ready), least hacky solution: validates_acceptance_of xxx unless ENV['RAILS_ASSETS_PRECOMPILE']
