Standup 02/07/2012: What’s the Sound of All Hands Clapping?

Ian Lesperance
Tuesday, February 7, 2012

Ask for Help

“Are there any good enum gems that work with Rails 3.2?”

Try simple_enum. But watch out: by default it will take your array of string values and store the numeric indices in the database. To avoid having to migrate your existing data, you can pass it a hash:

as_enum :status, :pending => "pending", :active => "active"

Interesting Things

“And… clap.”

A fun thing to try at standup: get everyone to clap once simultaneously without counting down.
