Interesting Things

• Schubert mentions that if url_for is blowing up on you, you’ve got fundamental problems. Think of this as the canary in the coal-mine. For example, if you’re trying to use namespaces in your rails controllers and there’s a pluralization problem, url_for will fail fast and hard.

• Kris Hicks let us know about Git from the bottom up, a free book that looks to be a great read for Git beginners and not-so-beginners alike.

• Kris also mentioned /proc/[pid]/status, which is available on most Linux distros. It contains lots of useful information about any process, such as process state, memory sizes, etc. See PROC(5) for more.

Stretch!
