We’ve all seen the job listings. We know what they’re looking for. Rockstars. Code Monkeys. Rails Ninjas.

And you’re left thinking, “But I’m just a programmer.” Well, not anymore. Today, you become a Rails Kung-Fu Master!

“Not me,” you say. “I’ve already tried using all the acts_as_something plugins and all the something_fu plugins; and I’m still not a Rockstar or a Ninja. I’m barely a Code Simian!”

Sounds like you’ve tried the rest – now try the best! That’s right: it’s the new and improved ActsAsFu Rails plugin!

Three Easy Steps to Becoming a Rails Kung-Fu Master:

1. Stop web server

mongrel_rails stop

2. Install Plugin

./script/plugin install http://svn.offtheline.net/plugins/acts_as_fu

3. Start web server

mongrel_rails start

(note: if you’re using mongrel_cluster, thin, piston, or anything like that, these instructions don’t apply to you – you figure it out yourself, you Rockstar Ninja!)

Now you’re on your way to programming stardom! Catch ya on fame’s backside, my friend!

Bonus Round: If you work on a team, don’t forget to check this awesome plugin into your repository (or as the ninjas say, svn ci -m ‘added l33t skillz’). Your teammates will undoubtedly be very impressed by your jujitsu karate haxxing abilities. If you push it up to your production server, your boss might even give you a raise!
