Humor is often OK. I suspect the problem here is that your comment can be taken in an antagonistic tone that many people have in regards to DHH and the 37signals philosophy. That sort of tone is generally not accepted here, especially as a one-liner without substance.
- blantonl 16y agoI read that as "that sort of tone is generally not accepted here in regards to the 37signals philosophy."
- detst 16y agoIt was meant as that sort of tone is generally not accepted toward anyone/anything, especially as a one-liner because it doesn't add anything to the discussion. It was probably perceived that way because there are many people that have that sort of attitude toward DHH and 37signals. So any intent of humor was lost. It has nothing to do with agreement or disagreement with their philosophy.
- sigzero 16y agoOkay, I get that. It really didn't bring anything to the table. I will remember that. It wasn't meant to be antagonistic though. Just for the record.
- bbwharris 16y agoIn other words, this isn't reddit.
- bbwharris 16y agoMy point goes deeper - reddit hates RoR. Mention ruby and you will be trampled. The OP is seemingly negative on Ruby (which is cleared up through subsequent comments) and he gets trampled. When I say "this isn't reddit" I mean, there isn't the same RoR hatred here that one notices there. That's all.
