Managing Success: We made it, now we're screwed.

Life as a startup, whether a bootstrapped company or an experimental project within an enterprise, is hard. You have to struggle to earn success. Lean, pivots, minimal viable products, and other buzzwords all steps along this journey. The struggle makes the eventual success that much sweeter. But it can also lead to suboptimal code, confusing logic, and general friction to getting things done.

In this talk I'll discuss ways to identify areas of your Rails app improve and strategies for improving the quality over time. I'll share insights on managing several large Rails applications, the dangers of the single, monolithic, ball of mud Rails app, and what changes make the biggest impact.
