If you're a Rails developer, you probably have a config/initializers/backtrace_silencers.rb file in your app. Think of James the next time you see that file. He wrote the initial implementation:

DHH later ported the work to Rails:

I knew James mostly online and a little in person from various programming conferences. He was smart, funny, and kind. He made a difference. He will be missed.
