Rails as an Automation Archetype: Mike Clark has interviewed
Source: RedHanded
David Heinemeier Hansson on automation in Rails. [snip -ed] We
basically try to make it so that the only thing you need to create is
application-specific functionality. All the infrastructure is already
configured and ready to run. That means it’s much, much easier to get
off to a good start with testing, revision control (we backup your DB
schema for you), and the like.
