There Are No Tests
The Ruby community is obsessed with testing, supposedly. In my experience about four out of five applications have either zero or completely ineffective test coverage...

I’m really bummed that I’ll be in Boulder for this, as I love hack nights! I’m trying to get together a beHack barCamp ( http://barcamp.org/w/page/45091733/beHack ) in Charlottesville two days after this, and would love to see some hacks from this hack night gain continuity and momentum. I’m interested in contributing to ( https://github.com/tomriley/tinyboxes ), a hack that came out of the C4K Hackathon in NYC ( http://thecollectivecontext.com/coding-for-kids-c4k/ ).
