Seattle.rb: June 2007 Archives

Today, bad-ass Seattle.rb just got a little less bad-ass.

Evan Phoenix, a ruby bad-ass and long-standing member of the Seattle Ruby Brigade, is packing up his stuff and moving to LA. A voluntary move on his part. His lovely wife is finally getting into broadcast and it is the right place to be for her.

But it is still a sad day for the rest of us. We wish him the best of luck.

Heckle is a mutation tester. It modifies your code and runs your tests to make sure they fail. The idea is that if code can be changed and your tests don't notice, either that code isn't being covered or it doesn't do anything.

• 3 bug fixes:
