brhays··on Rails has won: The Elephant in the Room
Thanks for this Reg, I have spent the last year of my life trying to vacuum the drama out of this discussion. The "working retirement" of mature technology is so normal and pretty wonderful in the scheme of things. Even the "prominent defector" bit is easily predictable. Once you know this, you can pick technology for the stability & productivity or the +80 IQ, depending on your situation.

I've been pestering the SpeakerDeck folks to allow me to paste in my notes, even slide by slide. I have extensive notes but it makes for an ugly export. It'd be awesome if I could tag it as metadata somehow.

I don't often visit Hacker News, but when I do, it's to receive compliments.

But srsly, thank you, that's very kind to say.
