Using JRuby with trinidad (developer mode) – I was intermittently getting this error. Apparently thrown as estimated_time for the transaction was returning nil. I was also having all sorts of other issues (undefined method `metric_name’ for nil:NilClass) with all newrelics action summaries.

So, does a “Finishing Touch” apply to software? A web application? It is a term that is probably more tied to a work of art. A painting. I...
