couldn’t agree more. learning ruby and rails (in 2007 when things were much simpler) was a truly beautiful experience for me. i consider rails and ruby to be one of humanity’s great works of art.

You don't have to read Tim Lee's writing to know how the latest FSD performs. There are lots of videos on YouTube, and new ones posted every day. My personal opinion is that this is a quantum leap over the previous implementation.
