Been There, Done That..

yep, I've upgraded a hundreds of thousands of Rails 2 codebase to Rails 3 point or so and it is a real pain. (Not to mention Ruby 1.8.7 to Ruby 1.9.3 conversion, oh boy!)

The good thing about the experience is that I have mastered upgrading Rails 2's codebases to Rails 3 or so and Ruby 1.8's codebases to Ruby 1.9's or so.

Hundreds of thousands?

I think the phrase "lines of code" is missing in there somewhere :)
