oops...somehow this ended up as a comment on ep 29 instead of 30. please disregard.
Loving the podcasts, even as I sit here coding in php dreaming for 5pm so I can do more ruby, I'm finding they are genuinely helping not only my ruby code but my php also. In depth discussions like yours help me think about the way in which I solve my problems. Cheers!
Hey Rogues, Surprisingly good episode there! A few things I wanted to tell you while listening to the episode though: James: Feature Branching is actually not such a great idea. Biggest problem is it tends to give you "one big integration moment" for all of your changes that might span several days or even weeks to be completed. More on Martin Fowler's blog - http://martinfowler.com/bliki/FeatureBranch.html General: Wrapping an ActiveRecord model into a Façade class is what we Java guys do as a standard. That's what we like to call a Data Access Object - you guys probably know this :D As for feature toggles, I'd not attribute this to Eric Ries, but would definitely add a link to his book to the show notes, since Lean Startup was mentioned more than once. Must say I'm enjoying every single episode and you guys are great company during my 2 hour daily commute. Keep it up! PS: Chuck, if you need a hand with audio editing, I've been into home recording for music since the 90s, you can check some of my stuff at http://www.last.fm/music/SSC and http://www.last.fm/music/Alex+Reis (feel free to edit the PS out of the comment!)
