Things I learned at the Hoedown

  • define_method really bites
  • extending Ruby with C is much easier than I would have expected it to be
  • I’m apparently cursed to never be able to play a game of werewolf
  • the drive to do good shown to such great effect at Railsconf is still alive and growing in the Ruby community
  • the pursuit of beautiful code, while intriguing and personally satisfying, may be somewhat misguided - more on this in future posts*, since I’m pretty sure it’ll be controversial
  • everybody tests differently

* Yes, future posts. I will write here again at some point. Quit snickering.
