Things I Miss From .NET Development
After years of developing on Microsoft’s tools, I’m finding it hard to change my old habits. I’ve gotten too comfortable with Visual Studio and I must admit, there are things I miss. Here’s a short list:
- Intellisense!!! I didn’t realize how convenient Intellisense is. I rarely had to look for a documentation, even the ones that I wrote.
- Debugging. It’s so easy to debug with VS, I actually feel guilty.
- F5. Instant gratification, sort of.
I know there are IDE’s such as IntelliJ that just came out with Ruby support, but it just doesn’t feel the same. Now that I think about it, I had troubles adjusting to VS from a text editor I rather not mention here. I’m sure in time I’ll get comfortable with TextMate.
./script/../config/boot.rb:29:Warning: require_gem is obsolete. Use gem instead.
Now that I upgraded Rails to 1.2.1, I get this annoying message every time I run script/generate. This message is nothing to worry about since it’s harmless. However, if you’re annoyed with the message like me, then there’s a quick fix to it.
In order to remedy this, go to boot.rb and replace “require_gem” with just “gem”. There should be two incidents of this. Just make sure you don’t touch anything like RUBY_GEM_VERSION.

# Update: New version of Rails, 1.2.2 has fixed the problem. As long as you’re using the latest Rails, this issue no longer pops up.
