Comparison works as expected in Ruby Have checked in ruby 2.1.2p95

code:

> (250).class #=> Fixnum > (250) == (250) #=> true > (2100).class #=> Bignum > (2100) == (2100) #=> true

most of the PHP devs i know write raw PHP. they do not use a framework. one team built their own (4 years back). And NONE of them wrote tests. Actually i have never seen or heard any php dev writing and evangelizing tests

In ruby, mostly everyone i know, uses rails and mostly everyone writes some test. either TDD or after writing the code.

It is not as bad as PHP but personally even for me, i should write better rails code

what is uploadd? how does it work, what problem does it solve and how is it different?

Was facing timeouts and general slowness, in file upload in my app and found uploadd. Although i am still debugging and it i am sure it is a network issue.
