I believe it’s partially the developer’s fault as well. Maybe, in this 20 years of engineering championing, we pushed too hard on the designer or the writer. It’s like at colleges where the liberal arts don’t hold as much weight as a bachelor of sciences. That sort of thinking has persisted through careers. Perhaps we’ve backed all of you into a corner and you’re pissed at us because Google has 47 blues tested. I get it.

Some people are all up in video’s grill though because there’s this one code, the H-2-6-9 and it’s proprietary but then there’s Ogg which isn’t proprietary but sounds like what the Vikings used to drink on pirate ships. It’s all like “I’m Ogg! I’m coming to eat your babies!” then the other one is all like I’m H-8-6-7-5-3-0-9 and I’m a robot who just wants to love. Then it turns out the audio element shows up at the end with a gun because nobody is talking about him and is all like “You’ve had the attention for too long Ogg & Robot!” and the two video codecs kill audio and learn to love each other and birth video.

Still far too high a percentage and enough to make you grown [sic]. Also, the last few pounds are the hardest to lose…

Maybe IE 8, Windows 7, and the great new browser war will help, or maybe some percentage is for lost computer souls.

There is no single solution. What ruby does offer is a more intuitive way of coding. Its form is simple. It’s full of grace. Ruby is succinct. It’s not the messiah of languages though it attracts many messiah-figures and their fanboy prototypes. There is a market for it, there are people that love to code it, and that’s about it. I don’t want to hear you rant on about it… It’s ok to bite the hand that feeds you. Just don’t bite it off.

Once you’ve completed the incredibly simple installation, you get an Apache that acts as both web server, load balancer, application server and process watcher. You simply drop in your application and touch tmp/restart.txt when you want to bounce it and bam, you’re up and running.
