Tone deaf it is.
I got started in Ruby by following “Rails Tutorial”. Back then I was a bit arrogant about it and parroted a bunch the DHH bunk.
My charitable reading is they are looking for someone who sees the language as a framework around the OS.
That’s the kind of programmer I feel like I am now. It comes more than anything from learning Objective-C where the fact that the language is a construct is obvious once you encounter an `objc_msgSend()` alongside a [myString uppercaseString]; (or any other message send.)
