Many commenters on N.YC were saying that those Zed's posts were 'career suicides' and I guess they were wrong. He did pretty well by spewing hate, I must admit.

Biggest irony is that he's using Rails on his new project even though he said he didn't want anything to do with RoR and 'left' it for Factor.

A month ago Obie good-naturedly called Zed out for this here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=98361

To be fair, Zed also said in subsequent interviews that he'd still use Ruby to make money, but he wouldn't use for hobby coding or new, envelope pushing projects.
