I love that having flexibility to implement features is the key to increasing productivity. Thanks for the talk – it was enjoyable.
Enjoyed hearing your comments on productivity and requirements. Very useful
Loving how Rails 3 is looking. Minimum changes for developers, and the changes just make things better and easier. The unobtrusive javascript using HTML5 data tags is super sweet. I also appreciated DHH’s commiserating over losing steam when tackling large challenges and how to fight that. Overall, great talk. DHH’s presentations are always amusing.
