Programming is great fun (mainly with Ruby ;-). However, this statement does not contradict with the fact that sometimes programming can be also hard. I came across a nice site today which can offer some help in these moments: Programming is hard. Judging from the size of Ruby/Rails/ActiveRecord tags (there is even a script.aculo.us tag!) it seems that it has a nice dose of Ruby/Rails stuff – solutions for common problems and also links to tutorials, frequenty asked nuby questions etc. Be sure to check it out!

Strange, it seems to be a duplicate of this site:
http://www.bigbold.com/snippets/
Except with a different name and content. Is it developed by the same guy? Why have two different sites with the same purpose and design?
Hmmm, i have no idea. I did not know about the other one, just came across “programming is hard”.
Strange…
Didn’t seem to be working when I checked but I’ll come back again to it.
Doug, as Ryan pointed out you can check out
http://www.bigbold.com/snippets/
It really seems it has the same content/design, to the point that it looks like a mirror…
It’s strange that programmingishard.com is down, though…
I’m the developer of Snippets and the maintainer of the ‘main’ repository at bigbold.com/snippets/
I know the guy who launched programmingishard.com and he even offered to forward it to the main Snippets site 🙂
However, Snippets’ source has been available to certain people and that’s just how a default Snippets install looks 🙂 There’s another version at http://www.textsnippets.com, for example.
Peter,
Thanks fo the disambiguation – although i am still a little bit confused: now should we use .snippets. or programmingishard or …?
