Discussion on: I’m Ben and I am a Rails developer

Dude you good? I explicitly said that I am trying to avoid behavior of looking down on others for the technology choices they make just because those choices are different than my preferences. You are trying to argue on a post that is 2 and half years old that you CLEARLY misunderstood.

So you're implying that Ben picked Rails because it's trendy?

Nope never came close to implying this.

Like you assume that it's "bad" to "pick a framework you like" and you're implying that you look down upon Ben for being so foolish.

I literally said the opposite by stating that this was behavior I am trying to avoid.

Then you go on to say "if the software solves your problem then bingo you're golden" as if this isn't exactly what Ben did by choosing Rails?

The whole point of my comment. Software choice is irrelevant as long as it solves your problem. Of course Ruby isn't able to solve every problem because of how high level it is, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't use it if it solves your problem.

It is honestly like your trying to pick a fight and are intentionally reading the words I'm saying with malice.

I see your point now, but you didn't state it very clearly at first.

Lol, I'm not trying to start a fight, I'm just trying to understand what you were saying, which was very confusing.
