This Evening's moochbot Lessons comments

published 11 December 2008

Tonight's post-get-the-kid-to-bed hacking time was a mad dash to cleanup a handful of bugs that some of you fine folks found with moochbot. In no particular order is a list of this evening's "a-ha" moments:

  • Receiving email works much much better when you configure your MX records correctly
  • Mixing ERb and HAML is a really really bad idea
  • I'm probably using RubyGems in my Rails app in about the stupidest way possible
  • Good dynamic form validation with JavaScript is actually quite tricky
  • Squashing commits in Git is still pretty damn cool.

That's all for now. Good night and good luck.
