Is there an equivalent in Ruby?

Learn to code. Even if you're not going to be the tech guy at your startup, you'll understand the tech guy much better, you'll be able to hire tech guys more effectively, etc.

Just do Learn Python The Hard Way or anything like that related to your field (C if you're doing hardware).

what annoys me most is that all of his ideas have been suggested and disproven before, but these kind of people never even do basic research on that, they just assume that their ideas are unique snowflakes that nobody else could ever come up with.

yea, big fail.

Oh god, this is such a brilliant idea.

IntelliSense knows the library, omnicompletion just autocompletes similar words in the current file.

Great! Finally there's method to the madness of startups.

- higher productivity - better ecosystem - more talent available - code doesn't make people vomit

It's not Rails so much, it's Ruby.

Because Wikipedia peaked in 2005.
