| "Ruby Smells" | RubyC 2017 | 2017-06-03 |
Ruby projects accumulate concrete, fixable smells: examples include duplicate method call (same expensive API hit repeated), data clump (latitude/longitude… | ||
| Integration Tests Are Bogus | RubyDay 2016 | 2016-11-25 |
Argues that most integration tests are unnecessary if unit tests use verified doubles and lightweight contract checks, and demos this with a weather/plane and… | ||

Covers concrete tricks: git rebase --autosquash to collapse fixup commits into earlier ones, creating an empty commit to rewrite a repo in place, and git… | ||
| Standard Library, Uncommon Uses | ArrrrCamp 2013 | 2013-10-03 |
