Feed Description: Jared's weblog.
The web site was created after the launch of the book "Ship It!" and discusses issues from Continuous Integration to web hosting providers.
It's largely died down now but there was a great bit of back-and-forth about Rails either being overhyped or great stuff. Justin Gehtland, Ted Neward, Dion Almaer and Glenn Vanderburg all jumped in and commented. I'm sure there are more posts out there I missed!
This is more than a great opportunity to watch a few folks fire friendly volleys back and forth. Read the threads and learn a little about what these guys value in a web framework. What do you they see in Rails that they don't see anywhere else? Or everywhere else? :) These are all very smarty guys. What do they value?
I thought about putting these in chronological order, but instead I sorted by person. Enjoy!
Of course nobody mentioned what I think is the best part of Rails. It's a complete, tip-to-tip Tracer Bullet Development process. Rails creates an entire, working system for you that you can add to as you build your application... and people are loving it!
