I was looking through some old code from over two years ago, when I
was playing with my first Rails applications. I noticed this hidden file
in the public/ directory, called .htaccess.
Do you remember the good ‘ole days?
```bash
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /dispatch.cgi?$1 [QSA,L]
```
I remember when we at PLANET ARGON first starting hosting Ruby on Rails applications (two years ago now!) and we had to continually explain to people that running on FastCGI was going to significantly improve speed over their default CGI deployment. This was one of the first FAQs that we posted on our website.
…oh how we’ve come a long way.
Before you know it, we’ll be on IRC and talking about the good ‘ole Rails days… like we do about the BBS days. ;-)
Do you have a remember when story related to Rails?
