>Pawel - a Rails developer.
I'd like people adding those kinds of claims to also give an estimate of how much they have contributed to the project.
I.e.
John S., Linux Kernel developer, contributed maybe 10 lines of code, or 0.0001% of the kernel source
or:
L. Torvalds, Linux Kernel developer, wrote the kernel code from scratch, that's my name on the project, biatches
Else, this "a Rails developers" signature tells us we should give extra credit to your opinion, but we don't know how much compared to DHH.
I don't mean it about you, Pawel, or your comment (I don't follow Rails that much anyway the last 2-3 years), I mean it in general.
- rachelbythebay 14y agoAre you sure they're all claiming the same thing? Maybe one "Rails developer" actually works on the framework itself, while another "Rails developer" is a developer who merely uses it to accomplish something else. Either way, you're looking at a brag-fest as people try to one-up each other. That can't be productive. I don't think any good would come of this.
