More linky goodness. Also, I’d like to thank David Trasbo and Maxim Chernyak for picking up my post on my experiences with the Rails Bugmash. Thanks for the link-love guys!

Case Study: Continuous deployment makes releases non-events — A developer shares his experiences with continuous deployment. Perhaps a bit aggressive for my blood, but it’s a very interesting technique.

The Real Reason Outsourcing Continues To Fail — I hope to not run into the issue of outsourcing at all, but I’m more well-prepared now if I do.
Active Record Query Interface 3.0 — @lifo details the exciting new finder methods for Rails 3. Super impressive stuff.

I’ll write a real post one day. I promise.

Hacking DNS — A great guide to mixing DynDNS with PairNIC.
A review of the Mac mini with Snow Leopard Server — Considering getting one of these. Ars gives a great writeup.
Mocking and Stubbing can be evil — I’m still up in the air on the topic of test mocks. I have more to say about this soon.
Ten Rules for Web Startups — Never know when you may want to build a web startup.
Simple rules for good typography — I’m currently trying to learn more about design fundamentals. Some good pointers here.
You Release Late and Infrequently — As the lead developer on a death march of a web site, I find a great deal of encouragement in this article.

Okay, I promise I’m not trying to start a link blog (I think). My browsers have just found themselves buried in tabs this month.

The Rails 3 Router: Rack It Up — A post from Yahuda Katz detailing some of the new capabilities awaiting us in Rails 3
Migrating to Snow Leopard for Rails Development – A Definitive Guide — This is old news by now, but I finally picked up Snow Leopard this weekend.
Learn You a Haskell for Great Good! — This circled the web a while back too, though I just ran into a few days ago. I have a few too many languages on my plate right now, so this one’s going on the shelf for a while.
How to obtain and install an SSL/TLS certificate, for free — Everybody likes free stuff.
Full Disclojure — A series of screencasts on learning Clojure!
beautifului — An exhibit of great web UIs [h/t @rbates]
Web Creme — A site highlighting inspiring web designs

While I certainly don’t intend to create another link blog (there are enough of those floating around these days), I need somewhere to unload these few that have cluttered my iPhone for the last week.
