Two figures that inspired me were missing, why the lucky stiff and Ryan Bates from railcasts fame.
Otherwise great docu with DHH "f*uk you" slide which does give an insight into successful open source projects.
- brightball 3y agoRyan Bates is a legend
- Towaway69 3y agoRyan did so much for the rails community and all because of the joy for RoR. Unfortunately iirc Ryan suffered a burnout and had a lengthy break. I hope all that is better now.
- TheRealDunkirk 3y agoIndeed. Also, kudos to Chris Oliver for taking up the mantle. https://github.com/excid3 https://github.com/excid3
- Lio 3y agoDefinitely! Chris's stuff is great. The Ruby on Rails community struck me as different back in the day in how fun it was. It's hard to explain but coming from a Java background the community seemed to be full of interesting and engaging characters. Some people don't really appreciate that and prefer things to be very dry but I loved it. I'd like to shout out to Ryan Bates, Geoffrey Grosenbach, Zed Shaw, _why, Jason Seifer, Gregg Pollack, Sandi Metz, Ezra Zygmuntowicz, Yehuda Katz, Dr Nic, Tenderlove and a whole heap more. Thanks everyone, you've made it a very entertaining journey.

- HalcyonicStorm 3y agoI'm always here to speak praises for Ryan Bates. His practical videos to build features was a huge insight for me as a junior developer at the time.
- rbates 3y agoThanks! Glad to help.
- mokkol 3y agoThanks Ryan. You made me love Rails and to be passionate about coding. I’m still working every day in it and still love it every single day. I have a one man SaaS that is providing for me and my family for the last 9 years. You played a big part in it. Thank you!
- andatki 3y agoMind sharing your sass business, or the category? Always inspiring to hear about those.
- kawsper 3y agoI agree with that, I would also have liked to have seen Tenderlove in it.
- Towaway69 3y agoYes! Tenderlove was brilliant, especially his profile image :)
- VeejayRampay 3y agotenderlove is legend, on both the Ruby and the Ruby on Rails sides
- rbates 3y agoI wouldn't expect to be mentioned in the documentary, but thanks for the shout out. :)
- andatki 3y agoWe (Rails programmers) appreciated all your amazing content and skills as an educator Ryan! A well-deserved Ruby Hero award recipient.
- glitchdout 3y agoI was also expecting Gregg Pollack and Code School to be mentioned. The "Rails for Zombies" course was absolutely fantastic.
