What I don't understand is why people feel the need to proclaim that they're leaving xyz? Why not just focus on the positive and focus your energy on the new stuff you'll be doing. It sounds like someone who just broke up and keeps claiming they're totally over it but just can't stop talking about what a bitch their ex is. If you're planning to do haskell, elixir, clojure and scala, write about that.
- Roboprog 10y agoOh, God, you're right. Sounds like my daughter on Facebook :-) "That David is such an asshole. I never want to see him again..." (with apologies to DHH, whom I find amusing, even if he is a bit "coarse")
- kazinator 10y ago> What I don't understand is why people feel the need to proclaim that they're leaving xyz? Often, such proclamations are not noteworthy. However, if the speaker has been a long time user of xyz and a contributor to it, then the proclamation is noteworthy.
- jordan0day 10y agoThere's a small bit of irony here in that there was a rash of "Why I'm leaving X for Rails" posts between 2008 and 2012 or so.
- rhapsodic 10y agoOh yes. I remember it well.
