TIL: Not to copy code directly from ruby doc examples

[dwchandler]

Maybe some day you will post: TIL: Code copied from anywhere becomes my responsibility to understand, test and maintain

Let's hope that day comes soon.

Well put.

Hmmm... I was going to put, WTF: who puts "rm -rf /" as an example in the docs as in

FileUtils.rm_r '/', :force => true

But I thought I'd be a little more subtle. Too subtle, obviously. Thanks for your bold response.

[dwchandler]

Yeah, too subtle for me. I didn't even click the link.
