I’ve spent an entire afternoon trying to debug an issue we’ve been having with one of our Rails apps.

How to rebuild a Ruby gem with a native extension, after a library or system upgrade?

I’ve been trying to improve my game with Elasticsearch and found myself in a situation where I needed to update thousands of records in an index. Some of those records, depending on existing field values, wouldn’t need to be updated, but it couldn’t be determined without getting those records first.

J’organise cette année, à Marseille, une “coderetreat” à l’occasion de Global Day of CodeRetreat, le 14 décembre 2013.

I was facing a situation on a server of ours ; the inode usage of one of our partitions was dangerously high (93%) and growing steadily.
