Curious on a few things... Honest questions: 1. Do you have any programming background or is this a first? 2. Why deadset on RoR?

  No programming background. Try not to write a book..but hard to answer. Might sound cheesy, but the truth: Woke up one day and knew I needed a change. I decided to take a couple years out and retool. I'm sure every hacker says this, but I want to change the world. Took advice from CS friend at Stanford, who told me "your totally a rails guy" and it kind of grew on me like a disease I couldn't shake!

    "I'm sure every hacker says this, but I want to change the world." I'm having a hard time making "no programming experience" congruent with "being a hacker". I don't mean to put you down, I hate the elitism that is found in a lot of hacker subculture. But what part of the culture do you identify with, if you've never coded?

      I guess I can see where you may have read into my comment. I don't consider myself a hacker in any way, shape, or form. I didn't mean to imply that I thought I was a hacker....just that I would imagine that "change the world" is mentioned often by hackers.
