>When he [Brian Mastenbrook] was able to reproduce the glitch at Basecamp, he began to suspect that the flaw was inherent to Ruby on Rails, the popular Web framework used by both websites.
Did they do QA before launching this thing?
>I find Cpedia best on topics that I thought I knew about. I find out things I should have known but didn’t. I’ve noticed productivity has slowed in the company since we have had it up for internal testing, as people ask each other about stranger and stranger trivia, or exclaim, “I didn’t know your middle name was Hector?”
