config.assets.compile=true in Rails production, why not?

Question

The default Rails app installed by rails new has config.assets.compile = false in production.

And the ordinary way to do things is to run

Answer 1

To have less overhead with Pre-compiling thing.

Precompile everything initially with these settings in production.rb
# Precompile *all* assets, except those that start with underscore
config.assets.precompile << /(^[^_\/]|\/[^_])[^\/]*$/

you can then simply use images and stylesheets as as "/assets/stylesheet.css" in *.html.erb or "/assets/web.png"
