+# Hacking HCl
+
+## Rubygems
+
+They're useful so we use them to install our gems. However there's no need to
+explicitly include rubygems in the app. That's up the system to decide. Don't
+require rubygems in the code.
+
+We require rubygems in the test as a developer convenience.
+
+## Running HCl in place
+
+This is common and supported:
+
+  ruby -rubygems -Ilib bin/hcl
+
+Don't add dir(__FILE__)/lib to the load path in the binary. Bad manners.
+
+## That's it
+
+That's it. I mostly wrote this to explain why I rolled back certain changes.
