Disable Sprockets for Rails in Development Mode  Sprockets
(is/are)? the technology in Rails 3.1 and up that combines your
CSS and Javascript files into one CSS and Javascript file. It
remains to be seen if this was a positive change or not. The
argument is that the client only has to make one HTTP request
instead of many for each file; this is a good thing. However, if
you change one line in one of your Javascript files, the client
then has to redownload the entire combined file instead of just
the one Javascript file that you modified.  Regardless, you may
want to disable Sprockets while you're developing your Rails
application. This will aid in debugging.   <%=
