## Ship like your Rails app is still brand new

If you've worked on a Rails app for a while, chances are you've seen your development speed slow down.

Some of this is inevitable—as the number of features goes up, adding more tends to get harder. However, **smart programming decisions can delay this slowdown**, and that's what this course is all about.

I've been writing and maintaining Rails apps for 8 years (including 6 at thoughtbot). This course contains the **hard-won wisdom** I wish I'd had when I got started.

## About Me

Ben Orenstein

I'm Ben Orenstein.

You might recognize me as the creator of [Refactoring from Good to Great](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DC-pQPq0acs), or [How to Talk to Developers](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9JXH7JPjR4).

I spent 6 years working at thoughtbot in Boston, where we obsessed about code quality and keeping shipping speed high. In a way, Refactoring Rails is the distillation of the best ideas I took from my time there.
