Every once in a while I'm reminded of the negative side of the ruby community that people always talk about. I'm not entirely sure why there seem to be a ton of highly negative and highly vocal people giving it a bad name, or if it's even anything other than my selective bias, but it is really unfortunate. For every Matz and Jim Weirich there seem to be ten Ruby rockstars who think the best way to make a name for themselves, or have their argument known is by being the biggest bully.
Are other communities like this or is it more pronounced in the ruby community?
- chadcf 12y agoIt honestly seems like it's more prominent in the ruby community, and I'm not entirely sure why. Part of it may be that ruby is so expressive and nice to work in that it ignites people passions, which can be good or bad... I can say, however, that years back when I was trying to get into ruby from PHP, people like this gave me a very negative view of the ruby 'community' and were the biggest obstacle I had to embracing ruby.
