This is the first well-written, lucid piece of writing on zedshaw.com in a long time, and it's actually quite good. For those of you turned off by just the name Zed Shaw, put that aside for a second. I'm not sure I agree with what he's saying, but there is no cursing, complaining about mean people, or talking about how unfair the ruby/rails community has been.

Maybe he is going to keep that no-rant promise.
