About davidslv

Software Engineer, 15+ years in Ruby and Rails.

The two architecture books I've written came out of that work, not the other way around.

    I've been working on writing a roguelike game in ruby, without using any external libraries. It's not really a complete game at this stage, all you can do is travel through the ran…

    I just read the article, I don't know much about the subject, but I find myself feeling really good about someone honouring the contract, even more a verbal one, I wish more people…

    I totally agree with you, the website is really slow, most likely because it ended here...

    is only me having a slow experience? The concept is actually very interesting, it really makes it very easy to build websites for small businesses.
