Ruby is famous for a technique called metaprogramming. This technique can be used for good, or for eval. In this talk, we'll explore ways to leverage metaprogramming, as well as how to deal with code that is out of control. We'll use examples of Metaprogramming Gone Bad to study techniques for dealing with legacy code, and discovering the most effective way to harness the power of code generation without the maintenance nightmare

- Bio
-
Aaron was born and raised on the mean streets of Salt Lake City. His only hope for survival was to join the local gang of undercover street ballet performers known as the Tender Tights. As a Tender Tights member, Aaron learned to perfect the technique of self-defense pirouettes so that nobody, not even the Parkour Posse could catch him. Between vicious street dance-offs, Aaron taught himself to program. He learned to combine the art of street ballet with the craft of software engineering. Using these unique skills, he was able to leave his life on the streets and become a professional software engineer. He is currently Pirouetting through Processes, and Couruing through code for AT&T. Sometimes he thinks back fondly on his life in the Tender Tights, but then he remembers that it is better to have Tender Loved and Lost than to never have Tender Taught at all.
