" summary

Describes getting blocked by an IE7-only HR site and resolving it with an SSH tunnel through a Mac VM, then promotes Tokaido — a binary Ruby for OS X that ships Rails gems to spare learners and teachers dependency hell. Argues for a single queuing API and demos active Q as a zero‑line strawman implementation. Cites a logging feature that took 18 commits and 10 authors, praises a notifications refactor that yields start/finish events, and defends the asset pipeline as necessary course correction.
