RailsConf - Day 2 - What should we work on next?

What should we work on next? - Brian Doll (New Relic) My note: this is probably a sales pitch on RPM, but at least I know that gong in :)

  • Apdex - how your customers feel about the service they are getting - how satisfied they are
  • Awesome “Knuth is my homeboy” image with appropriate quote: “premature optimization is the root of all evil”
  • Nice charts to compare metrics vs 24 hours ago, a week ago, a month ago
