Rails Studio Quotes - No Fluff Just Stuff

Rails Studio Quotes

Posted by: Nathaniel Schutta on December 10, 2006

So, people that know me realize I have a thing for quotes (see those from RailsConf as well as NFJS local edition). While there weren’t a ton of memorable quips from my recent experience at Pragmatic Studio (see Day 0, Day 1, Day 2 and Day 3) there were a couple that I had to share. Again these are largely paraphrases but I think I’ve captured the gist.

This exchange occurred when I asked Mike how he was “hiding” his Keynote deck while in play mode (i.e., switching back to the desktop without hitting escape):

Mike: “Just hit H - one of the things Dave taught me.”

me: “The list would be long”

Mike: “The things I learned from Dave… ”

Dave: “A through H - that was H.”

After trying app.methods in script console… Mike said:

“Try app.taguri..oh wait, that’s just missing the underscore, should be tag_uri, I thought that was something to do with Sushi, never mind.”

That’s not to say there weren’t other interesting moments during the class ;) …but those were the ones I felt like sharing!
