Wow, you've been at this for 3 whole months?!

You're totally qualified to tell people what they should be learning.

Ignoring the 3 paragraph post, and the assertion that Rails is the only web framework for ruby (or that python and php also have only one), I don't get why this guy doesn't link to some code he's written or to a thing he's built?

There isn't a reason to be an asshole, richo.

Its shit like this that gives HN a bad reputation.

I'll grant you that a reply calling me on being on the asshole side of the fence being downvoted, and a dickish post getting upvotes kinda sucks.

That said, I don't subscribe at all to "I tried hard so tell me I did well". Like I said, I would have loved to see something the guy had written.

One thing that /really/ pisses me off though if trying to give advice you're not qualified to. It's dangerous and destructived. If you were trying to quickly knock something up and this guy told you that "CodeIgniter is the web framework for PHP" and then you burned days on it, would you be pleased?
