Amusing. Rails as the "Dane Cook" of web frameworks pretty much hits the nail on the head. I love Rails but the fanboy culture really sucks.

Amusing. Rails as the "Dane Cook" of web frameworks pretty much hits the nail on the head.
I love Rails but the fanboy culture really sucks.
- whacked_new 17y agoThat reads to me as "Rails is a pop culture icon that only XYZ people know about." I'm not XYZ because I don't know who that is. Actually, perhaps unintentionally, you still hit the nail on the head.

- coglethorpe 17y agoGlad to be your unintentional hammer. Dane Cook is a comedian who hit it BIG, in part, due to MySpace. He's been in a couple of movies, including "Employee of the Month." He's got millions of fans, but also a sizeable group of haters, inlcuding many of his fellow comedians. He's just another in a series of people or items that hit it big, leaving many of us wondering why.
- zacharydanger 17y agoCould it be that he's hated because he steals material?
- coglethorpe 17y agoWell, I didn't want to get into the details here, but yes, that's part of it. :-) He's also been criticized for not actually telling jokes when it is his material, being/attracting the worst sort of humanity, etc.
- zackattack 17y agoA worse insult would be calling it the 'Carlos Mencia of frameworks'.
- aphistic 17y agoJust think of him as a comedy aggregator, something like a real life Digg/Reddit/etc. :)
