Does anyone know if this site was recently put together or if it's been around all along? WHOIS says the domain was registered back in '14. I love _why's writings and largely credit him with getting me excited about using Ruby back when I was in college. Really nice to be reminded of his work.

why's (poignant) Guide to Ruby was published in 2005 according to Wikipedia. It used to be on a different domain. Just checked my email history and I sent a link to it in 2008 when it was hosted at a .net domain.

_why actually deleted all of his stuff at one point- I don’t think any of his content is actually hosted by him these days.
