Yesterday, while I was refactoring some code, I inadvertently confused myself about the various delete and destroy methods in Ruby and Rails. Between the two, there are over 20 different ways to remove objects, so I suppose I shouldn’t feel too bad I didn’t pick the right one. If you ever wanted to know the best way to make things go away in Rails, you’ve come to the right article.

Calculating dates and times has always been a challenge for programmers. How many days until the next New Years Eve party (oh, did you forget 2008 is a leap year)? How long ago was the last backup (convert that to GMT, please)? What day of the week is 19 days, 42 hours, and 374 minutes from now (and how many milliseconds is that again)? And don’t even get me started on Y2K!

This weekend I set up Capistrano 2.0.0 for the first time. I was very eager to try it, especially given all the glowing blog posts about it. Everyone seems to think it’s the best thing since sliced bread. Capistrano has clearly become the standard for Rails application deployment. But after two days of wrestling with deploy.rb recipes, I have a few issues to share.
