Zed Shaw responds to DHH's Ruby Myths

Re:Zed Shaw responds to DHH's Ruby Myths by jrockway on Friday November 14, 2008 @03:24PM (#364736)

I've noticed a pattern emerging in the Ruby community. Everyone thinks everyone else "needs help". Zed "needs help". Zed's friend "might need help".

The reason I think this is interesting, though, is because this behavior apparently rubs off on Rails users. I know someone who switched from Perl to Ruby (on Rails) a while back. He came back to the Perl community by writing his own super-great web framework. When anyone gives it any technical criticism, he immediately replies with something like "I had a friend like you. I hope you get help and get better." blood pressure rising

In conclusion, everyone that uses Rails is mentally ill :)

And somehow he gets more than 9 votes up (because there must have been negative votes.)

I'm pretty sure that is a joke based on the story I relate in the comment.

But yes, I definitely need help!
