If you are new to Ruby, you may bump into some confusions when overriding methods, especially when you still need to refer to the old (parent) methods. Just to share some notes I have taken on overriding methods in Ruby.

Currently I am maintaining the list in an excel sheet, and I find it pretty …

Neah..not another jobsite, that could be your first thought. But in reality, I think we seriously need at least another jobsite that looks at a different perspective of doing things.
