Yeah, it is dated and naive in many ways :) Really don't know how the HN works and why this one made it to the main page while some of the other stuff I write rarely does so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

(In _some_ defense of the post, at the time of the writing it was targeted _only_ to the Ruby community. But still, probably, if I'd included "how others do it" section it would bear more weight.)
