GitHub Flavored Ruby

" summary

Five concrete practices used at GitHub defend against complexity: relentless modularization splits code into dozens of services like grit, smoke, burt rpc, chimneys and gollum so pieces can be open sourced and reused; Readme Driven Development means writing the README as a spec then moving implemented parts into the real README; rake gem provides copyable templates and rake tasks with no external deps for building and releasing gems; TomDoc documents method-level API and lands in rdoc 3.10; semantic versioning (major.minor.patch) prevents dependency hell.
