Re: [OT] Not everything goes well in Ruby land :-)

Scary stuff. I thought the Zed Shaw must be a complete raving loony  
from this post, but then realized he wrote the Mongrel server. He  
seems quite calm and rational in this interview:

http://www.infoq.com/interviews/ruby-zed-shaw

with not one swear word. It makes you wonder what happened in the  
space of a month to make him so bitter (yeah well it's probably how  
anyone can turn working in this industry!)

Is Rails really to be compared with the .com bomb? What of Nitro/og  
which doesn't seem to have had an update in 18 months?
