Why would you be using config.assets.prefix in rails?
<p>I'm trying to figure out, whether I should be using <code>config.assets.prefix</code>in my development environment or not.</p>

<p>When I'm using localhost, for development, are there any (dis-)advantages of doing this? When the local server itself isn't caching and is on another domain (production-domain vs localhost), I fail to see the disadvantages? Especially for hard-coding some paths in CSS and Javascript, which will then always return 404's on development.. </p>

<p>I've been using <code>config.assets.prefix = "/dev-assets"</code> as pr. reccomendation of another developer, who isn't working with us anymore.</p>

<p>Is this a problem, that anyone else have thought about and taken a standpoint at?</p>
