Ruby cream of the top developer shouts out

There is quite a stirring going on the the Rails community since one of the upfront developers talks honestly about things that his bothered with. It is a long read, but actually quite a good one for anybody. If you read it you can learn how to avoid some pitfalls yourselves.

As of January 2nd 2008 he added some more to the page. I especially like this part;

“In my dealings with the Rails community I’ve encountered some world class asswipes, and I’m sure they think the exact same thing about me. For a long time I couldn’t place why these weird inner circles like caboose and Rails Core bothered me so much. Here I was with supposedly the cream of the crop for Ruby smartness, and they did and said some of the dumbest shit ever. Like how Fuzed is actually named “F-U Zed” in honor of me. Honor? Fuck you.

Yes, that’s actually true that the VaporSet crew named a web server FUCK YOU ZED just to spite me. Aw, I can feel the love all the way from Tokyo you bitches. What happened to Fuzed? Well, it’s currently hidden behind some google login that I’m too tired to go through so I’m guessing it’s not doing so great. Who knows. All I know is that’s what you deal with in the Rails world these days.”

Anyhow, judge for yourself. It is a interesting read.
