Original Post: Ant was a one-day airplane hack
Feed Title: Obie On Rails (Has It Been 9 Years Already?)
Feed URL: http://jroller.com/obie/feed/entries/rss
Feed Description: Obie Fernandez talks about life as a technologist, mostly as ramblings about software development and consulting. Nowadays it's pretty much all about Ruby and Ruby on Rails.
In a "wow, that explains a lot" moment for many of us in the audience, James Duncan Davidson mentioned offhandedly during his Railsconf talk on deployment that Ant was a hack that he wrote one day on an airplane, and that he still gets emailed questions about it daily, even though he hasn?t used Ant himself for three years.
