After a week of beta-testing, Marc-André Cournouyer has launched Refactor My Code, a website to share Ruby, C# and Javascript code. It invites web developers to share publicly snippets of code in order to get feedback and improvements from other members. One year ago, there was rails.techno-weenie.net which did the same thing with a points system but Rick Olson moved it to a Beast forum and then killed off the service.
The beauty of Refactor my Code is that it’s simple in design but serves right a purpose in practice. It’s those kind of websites you think you could have came up with it yourself, but Marc-André finally nailed it. I am expecting it to become a reference for RoR developers, beyond Montreal. I have to say I am quite impressed and tempted to focus 100% on development (instead of mtw for instance).
I hope it will help ppl write better code, and have fun doing it. It did for me!
congrats again marc-andré
[...] to all the people who talked, commented or blogged about RefactorMyCode! You made it [...]
It died when when it just made it to the front page as long as on reddit and delicious.
I made some major caching improvement and now it’s back up and should be pretty fast
Thanks for the props!
