You did miss nothing. But I have a few Ruby-things under continuous development and tend to make sure I have the gems *before* I need them. It would, of course, be a much bigger catastrophe if each user of a gem would have to download the dependencies by himself.
So, you are right. But my needs are different. Having to run the whole “program” each time for testing tiny changes is also no good practice.., although, in my case, these are small scripts and I could do it. It still feels dumb to have to run my own program only to ensure that missing dependencies are fetched...
... on second thought. You can invent new gems and try to get them... maybe a server responds...
Code:
require 'get_me_my_helicopter_today'
require 'sunshine_all_day_long'
