No, just append ?share=1 to the end of the URL as so: http://www.quora.com/Ruby-on-Rails-web-framework/Why-do-so-many-startups-use-Ruby-on-Rails?share=1 http://www.quora.com/Ruby-on-Rails-web-framework/Why-do-so-m...

  Thanks. I was not aware of that feature yet. It would be nice if those pages (shared) are the ones google would list in the search results, but then quora needs its user sign-ups.

> Rails developers often use Macs. For some people, this means nothing. For others, this means the difference between getting hired or passed over. YMMV. I must say this made me laugh. Is the tech scene getting too stupid?

  When people fall in blind, biblical love with a particular technology, rational perspective goes out the window. Further, groupthink is something to be feared for it's failure of a subtle kind. And, the vast majority of interview processes are rarely measurably accurate at preventing false positives AND false negatives, most tend to sacrifice the later for preventing the former. I'd be more impressed if someone ran PC-BSD zfs on a homemade laptop. (Disclaimer: written on a hackable non-Retina MBP, not that it matters. 2 SSDs + 16 GiB in 13")

  What? I must say, this is the first I've heard of this trend. Personally, I might be a little querulous when interviewing a dev who used Windows by preference (though this would be irrelevant once they'd demonstrated or failed to demonstrate technical skill), but I've never worked with a hiring manager who'd discount a web dev who used a Linux-based operating system.

    Do you feel the same about Windows?

  So if I want to be hired as Rails dev. I should have Mac!!!. Great joke
