Calling dibs

Posted in Uncategorized on December 23rd, 2011 by admin – Be the first to comment

I recently released a new fun side-project callingdibs.com where you can call dibs on celebrities. You have to give a reason why your favorite star should belong to you. If it is already taken by someone else, you can pull on that person and let your friends vote for you to get dibs on him/her. It’s like “I call dibs on Chuck Norris because I have a tattoo of him on my chest!”.

Rails removed returning but Faker brought it in again

We wondered why our specs were NOT failing even we hadn’t removed all returnings and replaced them by tap in our current Rails 3 rc2 project. The solution was that the faker, the fake data generation library, is patching Object and introducing it’s own version of returning. This is why I believe in slim and clean test-frameworks, that don’t pollute core objects.
