0 likes181 views
The document discusses using Slack bots built with Ruby, including core Slack concepts like channels, files, users and APIs, and provides examples of bots like Lunch Roulette that facilitate random connections between users by suggesting places to meet or topics to discuss. It also shares stories about the original design of Fitnesse and the development of the Lunch Roulette bot, and encourages considering frameworks like Rails as a means to an end rather than the defining aspect of an application.

Story of Fitnesse (by Uncle Bob) Original design was to persist the wiki to permanent storage Issue was ignored at first (ram resident, no persistence when application exits) A lot of code written that worked through the behavior of the system and components At first, wrote to flat files instead of a database DB persistence was finally written as a plugin

- 14. When you type "rails new", you enter a mindset. One that biases you towards making an application that conforms to what a "rails app" is supposed to be like.
- 15. Rails is not your Application (but it's a damned fast way to make one)
