I enjoy using Ruby On Rails, and my experience with the technology has added a lot to my skill set. RoR has shown me the light by introducing me to Ruby, and demonstrating how software should _really_ be designed and developed. Over the weekend I “contributed a patch”:http://dev.rubyonrails.org/changeset/4494 to RoR that enabled microsecond resolution for Postgresql, and partial support for all other adapters. I was really happy to add this to the RoR code base for the benefit of all the RoR users.

This patch contribution was quite personal. To me, this patch was proof that I made the correct decision by leaving my full time job three months ago in pursuit of something _more_.

There is plenty more out there, and I fully intend on finding it.
