John Nunemaker - Addicted to Stable

Stable? In most developer communities, especially Ruby, stable seems nothing short of a curse word. Everyone seems to be addicted to new. I should know, as I once was. Heck, I even own addictedtonew.com. Over the past few years, my sentiments have changed. Through my experience maintaining and growing a handful of applications, I have grown to respect and love stability. This talk is jam packed with everything I have learned about building and growing a production application. Stories of mistakes and victories will abound. I am a GitHubber. I helped create Harmony, Gauges, and SpeakerDeck. I have also released several open source projects, including httparty, mongo_mapper, toystore, and the twitter gem.
