Shows a published Towers of Hanoi level built in LittleBigPlanet that actually works and explains the redesign choices to avoid objects snagging on doors; demos RestClient doing a two-line Twitter fetch and an IRB-like shell that logs requests into executable Ruby; explains FasterCSV’s transcode-once parser trick that converts the parser to the data’s encoding for speed; and shows Terminator writing a tiny temp Ruby process that sleeps then sends a signal as a reliable timeout.
