As for Rcov, yes, help would be greatly appreciated. I checked in some updates that take advantage JRuby annotations. Now I’m concentrating on the call events coming from jruby. I haven’t put the debugger on it yet, but it looks like some call events simply don’t happen. That would account for at least a couple of unit test failures for certain.

I’m also hoping that I’ll have more time and energy to devote to this, since after today, JRuby won’t just be a hobby anymore.

Working from home is definitely enjoyable. However as your daughter gets older she’ll want to see what daddy’s doing I’m sure it won’t impact your ability to get stuff done but you will end up smiling a lot

I to am doing a JRuby on Rails enterprise app. (It’s actually a collection of JRuby on rails apps and some JRuby apps) I’m really enjoying it. While I really like Ruby. The JRuby team has made life a lot easier (IMHO)

Anyway again congrats!
And this sprint I got time from my company to help work on RCov if you still want some help. I need to get RCov into our CI environment so now that I have the code I’ll peek at it (I noticed that you checked some stuff in the other day)

Also: dontcha wonder what it would have been like if we had just fixed the broken XP instead of throwing it out and replacing it with chaos? I do.

One note of potential irony is that ages ago (‘99 or ‘00?) the Former Employer bought into XP (which is a flavor of agile, yes?) heavily, buying everyone books, getting a consultant to come in and yammer, and designing a room to be lined by bulletin boards to hold “story cards” that could be thumbtacked up (this room reeked because the bulletin boards were moldy or something).

This was before the current regime on the Dev side, of course.

Cheers,

Mike
