A badly maintained codebase increases the chance of your application breaking for users. Bad user experiences lead to losses in reputation and revenue. More bugs, lower velocity. New features are harder and slower to add. More time spent debugging and quickly hacking together workarounds just to keep up.

What if you could learn how to go faster from having an idea for a feature to having it live on your users screens. Save time & money for your business by not having to hire any new developers. Improve your productivity. Take pride in your work. Focus on making features not bugs.

Learn how to build maintainable Rails apps. Understand the context for the problems with Rails apps that are difficult to maintain. Learn some lightweight patterns and techniques for splitting apart your spaghetti code into loosely coupled components. Easier to read/understand, easier to modify. Learn how to avoid "callback hell", and how to run your tests in seconds not hours.
