- ascendant 16y agoNot entirely on topic, but Igvita constantly puts out some of the best blog posts I see. It is always top-shelf content.
- davnola 16y agoHere in the UK top-shelf content means adult-only. Perhaps you meant top-drawer?
- nickpinkston 16y agoPeople use "top-shelf" for this as well. Like, "This bottle of cognac is top-shelf".
- aaronblohowiak 16y agoThat's interesting. I would have no idea what someone meant if they said "top-drawer". In bars, "top-shelf" means the expensive booze, usually contrasted with "well", which means the cheap stuff.
- ascendant 16y agoYeah, here in the US "top-shelf" is usually used in the context of alcohol. All of the really good stuff is top-shelf (usually literally) and the well stuff is the garbage in plastic bottles. Keep the really good stuff up high and visible where everyone can see it.
- bryanwb 16y agoI concur, I consistently read his posts while not being particularly interested in ruby.
- hamidp 16y agoI am slowly getting tired of blog posts, startups, etc.. that imply that they are better simply because their service/website/code is better simply because they're using Ruby. You can write almost anything in almost any language. Real innovation is coming up things like provisioning virtual servers a-la what Amazon did, and not by doing what someone else did and slapping a "look it's Ruby!" label on it.
