Rails Bigwig Rails on Rails Community 616
Zed Shaw, creator of the popular Mongrel HTTP daemon / library, has decided it was high time to tear into the Ruby/Rails community for many different complaints that he has been collecting over the last few years. "Rails is a Ghetto" is Shaw's self-proclaimed exit strategy from the Rails community. "This is that rant. It is part of my grand exit strategy from the Ruby and Rails community. I don't want to be a 'Ruby guy' anymore, and will probably start getting into more Python, Factor, and Lua in the coming months. I've got about three or four more projects in the works that will use all of those and not much Ruby planned. This rant is full of stories about companies and people who've either pissed in my cheerios somehow or screwed over friends. I can back all of them up from emails, IRC chat logs, or with witnesses. Nothing in here is a lie unless it's really obviously a lie through exaggeration, and there's a lot of my opinion as well."

He sounds like a real people person. I can't imagine why companies aren't jumping at the chance to hire this guy.

Really bad.
I could hurt you so bad you would forget that you were even hurt. You would run screaming like a little girl to your happy place.
And your only recourse is to write your pathetic little rebuttals in your stupid little blog.

Some predictions for 2008:
* Zed will fork and re-factor the framework, quietly releasing the far technically superior and more stable "OpenRails".
* Google will use OpenRails to successfully deploy the Beta release of its Next Big Thing. It handles thousands of requests per nanosecond and Google's share price spikes, though it doesn't account for any of Google's revenue.
* The PHP community declares "OpenRails is dead!"

Although I bet Zed would kick their collective asses, using his nunchucks and rudimentary understanding of the HTTP spec.

Zed Shaw is tough. There is no chin beneath Zed Shaw's goatee, there is only Chuck Norris. If you can see Zed Shaw, he can see you. If you can't see Zed Shaw you may be only seconds away from death.
