Hacker Chat: Pinboard Creator Maciej Ceglowski Talks About Why Boring Architecture is Good, and More
Wise words.
-
I think many developers (myself included) are easily seduced by new technology and are willing to burn a lot of time rigging it together just for the joy of tinkering. So nowadays we see a lot of fairly uninteresting web apps with very technically sweet implementations. In designing Pinboard, I tried to steer clear of this temptation by picking very familiar, vanilla tools wherever possible so I would have no excuse for architectural wank.

Unfortunately, Rails stands out as a major exception to this simple principle. It creates its own log directory and writes various files into it; some plugins even take it upon themselves to write their own, separate logfiles. This hurts the local development experience: what you see in your terminal isn’t complete, so you have to open a separate window with
tail -f log/*.log
to get the information you want. But it hurts the deployment experience even more, because you end up having to tinker around with a bunch of Rails logger configuration options to get your logs from all your web machines to merge into a single stream.
