My name is Jim Murphy. I'm a software entrepreneur living in Elora, Ontario near Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. I studied at the University of Waterloo, have spent my career at early stage software companies in Boston, California and Texas before recently returning to Waterloo a couple years ago. I have been lucky to try my hand at many different roles: software developer, evangelist, sales, business development, author, speaker, product manager, market strategist.
OK This on is a serious PIMA. Why doesn’t ruby’s require involve the requiring files directory int he LOAD_PATH
1 require File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../foo')
You see this all the time at the top of Ruby source files? This is the Ruby Way?
I would expect to write:
1 require "../foo"
and have require – try matching against the requiring files directory first, then delegate to the LOAD_PATH array.
Help me see the light.
