“CarrierWave is messy leaving files in the tmp directory when running tests. Is rm -rf the best answer?”
Yes!
“While the we love Rails, we don’t need it, we just want its asset packaging features. Some suggest using sprockets. Do you have other suggestions?”
Interesting Things
*Gem Maintainers: use LicenseFinder to save users of your gem the hassle of digging through your gem to figure out what license your gem is distributed under.
*A Pivot had great success using Join.me for remote pairing. Setup was a snap! Others suggest checking out TeamViewer as well.
I’ve used sprockets to great success in single-page-app javascript setup. Provides lots of asset packaging/concatenation/interpretation goodies.

Jammit is great!
I’ve replace sprockets with jammit in a couple of rails projects.
It just need a rake sass:update (custom task) before running jammit on deployment, and it’s great!
Also, you can add your own MD5 fingerprint with another plugin to make it more sprockets-like
